Real Madrid have gone three La Liga matches without a win, and Xabi Alonso’s position is already under scrutiny — now the fans have stepped in.
Details: As seen in footage published by El Chiringuito TV, supporters are calling on the players to back Xabi Alonso. The messages appeared on banners displayed at Valdebebas.
Earlier we reported that the upcoming match could be decisive for Alonso’s future as Real Madrid’s head coach. If Los Blancos fail to beat Athletic Bilbao, the Spanish manager could be dismissed.
We also previously reported that Xabi Alonso has been given several matches to turn the situation around. Florentino Pérez believes that if the club is ultimately forced to change direction and dismiss Alonso, Zinedine Zidane would take over as head coach until the end of the season.
Reminder: Real Madrid winger Rodrygo set an unwanted club record that had stood for 123 years.
