The game against "Athletic" (Bilbao) in the 15th round of the Spanish La Liga could play a decisive role in the fate of "Real" (Madrid) head coach Xabi Alonso. Sport24.az reports that the club's management is concerned about the team's unstable performance in recent matches.
The Madrid team has faced a loss of points in three consecutive La Liga matches - "Rayo Vallecano" (0:0), "Elche" (2:2) and "Girona" (1:1). The team only managed a difficult victory in the Champions League over Olympiacos (Greece) - 4:3.
According to reports, some players disagree with Alonso's game philosophy and tactical approach.
The 44-year-old specialist has been managing the "royal club" since the summer of 2025. Prior to that, he led the German team "Bayer 04".
It should be noted that "Real" is currently in second place in the league table with 33 points after 14 rounds, only 1 point behind "Barcelona".
