Is Xabi Alonso Getting Sacked? Real Madrid Hit Crisis After UCL Loss

It was a day Real Madrid and their fans would want to forget, and for good reason. First, their UCL rivals Manchester City defeated them at the Bernabeu. Second, the home fans were clearly frustrated with the team’s style of play, which mostly involved long balls, diagonal passes and half-hearted attempts. And lastly, the biggest question that started circulating even before the final whistle was: Is Xabi Alonso getting sacked after this 2-1 defeat against Man City?

The answer seemed clearer after the match when Real Madrid’s best performer publicly said, “We are all with him,” showing support for Alonso. However, nothing is guaranteed. There is a long history of President Florentino Perez sacking managers the moment he feels they are no longer the right fit without giving a second thought. What all we can do is speculate.

Real Madrid Vs Man City: Post-Match Conference

After the game ended, all eyes shifted to the post-match press conference as fans and the media expected the talk of Xabi Alonso getting sacked to intensify. But after seeing both the players and the manager publicly back each other, the situation now seems calmer. For the moment, his job is safe, but everything depends on the next match against Deportivo Alaves. If coach Xabi Alonso loses that game as well, then nothing can stop the management from planning his mid-season farewell.
