Former Real Madrid Nutritionist Reveals Standoff Over Diet

Former Real Madrid nutrition specialist Itziar González has made striking allegations regarding the club's medical department. She recounted a clash over breakfast options, where she suggested ditching pastries for a healthier alternative. Her advice was met with a rigid response from staff, who insisted on maintaining the status quo due to past success. According to González, she was firmly told: 'Everything has to stay the same — don’t change or you’ll be sacked. We’ve won 15 Champions Leagues like this.' She claimed this attitude was prevalent. She also revealed an odd situation where she was meant to treat players, but her presence was hidden, making it impossible for them to find her. When she inquired, the staff allegedly responded, 'Well, even better—then you earn money without working. Look how lucky you are.'
