La Liga
Xabi Alonso is facing decisive days at Real Madrid after suffering three setbacks that erased the euphoria generated by the recent victory in El Clásico. The lead in LaLiga has now been buried.
The coach from Tolosa saw how the defeat against Liverpool at Anfield and the draws against Rayo Vallecano and Elche raised all institutional alarms. The Real Madrid coach is on thin ice.
The team from the capital has lost its league advantage, and internal confidence is diminishing in a dressing room that, according to close sources, does not fully support the coach. Key players at Real Madrid do not trust Xabi Alonso.
Florentino Pérez would have already issued a clear ultimatum, aware that the sporting situation demands strong decisions and immediate results to restore competitive stability. In other words, the coach's fate hangs on the upcoming commitments.
Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid's Immediate Challenge
The roadmap presents a demanding schedule that tests every tactical detail, every public message, and every gesture within the white environment.
The upcoming commitments concentrate maximum pressure, with complex away trips and opponents that offer no margins to a project under critical observation.

For Xabi Alonso, each match will be a strategic examination that measures leadership, ability to react, and emotional management under a relentless media spotlight.
Real Madrid needs immediate answers that combine competitive character, tactical coherence, and offensive efficiency without sacrificing structural defensive solidity.
The Matches Where Xabi Alonso's Future Is at Stake
The first challenge will be Olympiacos away, followed by delicate visits to Girona and Athletic Club, tests that will set an immediate trend.
Also, Celta de Vigo awaits at the Santiago Bernabéu, a duel that demands authority in front of the fans and convincing responses in the game. It won't be enough just to win; Real Madrid will have to leave a good impression.
Lastly, the final major test will be the visit of Manchester City to Chamartín. Pep Guardiola's team could have the opportunity to seal Xabi Alonso's fate if Real Madrid fails to achieve good results in the aforementioned five matches.
