Real Madrid provides Xabi Alonso a limited opportunity to save his season
Real Madrid lost 2-1 to Manchester City at home in the Champions League, causing Xabi Alonso to experience yet another defeat. The manager has been under pressure for a few weeks, and despite inconsistent results, he is still fighting for his job.
But something seems to be changing: the fans are exhibiting signs of renewed tolerance, and the locker room is starting to support him. Alonso is currently anticipated to stay at least through the Spanish Super Cup, which is set for January 7–11.
Alonso is still treading carefully, but he is about to go on a crucial three-match run that might determine his immediate future, according to AS. Real Madrid’s 2025 season will conclude with an away La Liga match against Alavés, a Copa del Rey match against Talavera, and an important home meeting against Sevilla FC.
As a natural deadline associated with the winter break, these fixtures are not seen as an ultimatum. It is anticipated that club executives would assess the situation over the holiday season before deciding on the course of action.
