Real Madrid are going through a difficult spell, and rumours suggest Xabi Alonso’s position at the club may be under threat. Guardiola was asked to share his thoughts on his former colleague.
Details: According to Pep, managing Real Madrid or Barcelona is exceptionally challenging due to the immense pressure surrounding those clubs.
Quote: Barcelona and Real Madrid are the most difficult clubs for a coach, the toughest in terms of pressure and the environment. I sympathise with him because we spent two years together — it was an incredible experience to work with him, Guardiola said.
He also expressed his support for Alonso, wished him the best and believes Xabi can turn things around at Real Madrid.
The match between Real Madrid and Manchester City will take place at the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday, 10 December, kicking off at 21:00 CET.
Earlier, we reported that Real Madrid must defeat Manchester City — only then will Xabi Alonso remain the head coach of the Royal Club.
Reminder: The husband of a current CTA representative in the RFEF ran onto the pitch to confront the referees after the Real–Celta match.
