NegativeSports
- Real Madrid suffered their second defeat in four days, losing to Manchester City in a crucial Champions League match, leaving manager Xabi Alonso under significant pressure. Despite an early lead from Rodrygo, who scored after a long goal drought, the team could not maintain their advantage, ultimately losing the match.
- This loss is critical for Alonso, as it compounds the team's recent struggles, with only two wins in their last several matches. The backing from the dressing room, highlighted by Rodrygo's support, may not be enough to alleviate the mounting scrutiny on Alonso's position.
- The situation reflects broader issues within Real Madrid, including concerns over player performance and injuries, as the team has faced challenges in maintaining form. The pressure on Alonso is indicative of the high expectations at the club, where recent performances have raised questions about the team's direction and future.
