Xabi Alonso’s future at Real Madrid hangs in the balance after Manchester City secured a 2-1 win at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, further fueling speculation about the Spanish coach’s tenure.

According to reports, Alonso’s team has only managed two wins from eight games, sparking concerns about his ability to lead the team to success.

The defeat marked Real Madrid’s second home loss in just four days, intensifying the pressure on Alonso.

Describing the match as a “tough one”, Alonso’s struggles were evident as City came back from a goal down to snatch victory.

Rodrygo had initially put Real Madrid ahead, but City’s second-half resurgence, including a penalty awarded for a clumsy challenge from Antonio Rüdiger on Erling Haaland, sealed their fate.

An anonymous source close to the team revealed, “The atmosphere is tense, and everyone is worried about Alonso’s future”.

The speculation surrounding Alonso’s position has been ongoing, with many questioning whether he is the right man to lead Real Madrid to Champions League glory.

Alonso, who took over as Real Madrid coach earlier this season, has faced intense scrutiny for his team’s inconsistent performances.

The former Spain midfielder has been under pressure to deliver results, but the recent losses have only added to the uncertainty surrounding his future.

As the dust settles on this latest defeat, Real Madrid fans are left wondering if Alonso can turn things around or if it’s time for a change at the helm.

The next few games will be crucial in determining the Spanish coach’s fate, with the Champions League fixture against City looming large.
