Austria’s soccer star looks back on the highs and lows of his time at Real Madrid—the meeting with him at the training center was a very special experience in many ways

A visit with David Alaba at Real Madrid’s training center. The initial request for this meeting was made in January.

Before heading to the 120-hectare Ciudad Real Madrid in Valdebebas with krone.tv colleagues Christoph Fuchs-Grünbühel and Marco Cornelius, there was a thorough check and verification against an email from the press department.
