The figure of Xabi Alonso is once again under scrutiny after the painful defeat of Real Madrid against Celta Vigo this Sunday. The loss, beyond the three points lost in the fight for the LaLiga title, has sparked an internal debate about the continuity of the coach and the sporting management of recent weeks.

Internal tensions and signs of fracture

The atmosphere in the locker room is far from calm. After the final whistle, Courtois and Rüdiger walked around the field to thank the fans, while Vinícius Júnior apologized from the center circle in a gesture filled with frustration. However, the real tension was felt inside the locker room, where according to close sources, two clear positions emerged: one group blamed the refereeing for the expulsions suffered, and another directly pointed to the team for its inability to compete.

This division has spilled over to the relationship with the coach. DefensaCentral points out that players like Vinícius, Bellingham, Valverde, Endrick, or Rodrygo are not completely comfortable under the orders of the Basque coach and see a possible change of direction with good eyes. Some of them, especially the youngest, believe they do not receive the necessary continuity and that the sports management should consider a change of course.

Institutional support and its expiration date

Despite the growing pressure, the leadership of Real Madrid has tried to maintain calm. Meetings after the stumble against Celta have been held to analyze alternatives, although the idea of an immediate change is not unanimous. Names of prestige like Zidane or Klopp are already circulating as potential options, along with other internal choices that could act as emergency solutions in case of a major crisis.

Florentino Pérez, cautious but aware of the discontent, knows that the situation cannot continue without results. The defeat against Celta has raised alarms that were already sounding due to the team's inconsistency in recent weeks and the problems in managing injuries, a factor that also complicates the stability of the project.

A defining test against Manchester City

The clash this Wednesday against Manchester City looms as a turning point in the season. A heavy defeat could trigger the immediate exit of Xabi Alonso, while a convincing victory could ease the tension and reinforce his authority within the team. The coach himself has avoided public dramatization, noting that "it's just three points," though he recognizes that the match can set the course of the team until the end of the season.

The numbers do not help: only two wins in the last seven official matches have fueled the debate. The feeling that the team is stagnant requires an urgent reaction and virtually eliminates the margin of error.

A divided locker room and an uncertain future

Amid this storm, several players continue to support the coach. Carvajal, who knows Xabi Alonso well, has become one of his great allies within the squad. Youngsters like Huijsen, Carreras, and Arda Güler appreciate the trust they have received, while players like Mbappé, Tchouaméni, or Militao positively assess the coach's footballing idea.

Others choose neutrality, waiting to see how the clash against City unfolds. Meanwhile, the fans watch with unease, and the board measures each step with extreme caution. The clock ticks, and the debate grows. The Bernabéu turns its gaze back to the bench, and the future of Xabi Alonso could be decided within hours.
