XABI ALONSO HAILS VINíCIUS’ VERSATILITY STARTING OR COMING OFF BENCH
Xabi Alonso hails Vinícius Jr's game-changing impact off the bench in Real Madrid's 1-0 win over Getafe. The coach also praised Courtois's crucial late save and Mbappé's decisive match-winning goal.

October 19, 2025
Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said, "Vinícius had a significant impact," following his team's tense 1-0 victory over Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. He might be just as significant coming off the bench as he is starting, according to our conversation this morning. And that is what happened. He was unruly, pushing cards, and we took the initiative after that. Everyone understanding that they can play a significant part is ultimately what it is all about.
Xabi Alonso on Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba's fitness issues
"Courtois, I believe so. Alaba sensed... His calf was becoming stiff, but it was not an injury, and we did not want to take any chances. Tomorrow, we will evaluate him in more detail.
Xabi Alonso on the late save by Thibaut Courtois and Arda Güler
"Arda also made a significant contribution: we were able to decipher the goal." Mili's pass came first, followed by how he located Kylian. The goal was important because it was hard to establish a rhythm and create chances in this game. Numerous disruptions occurred, which usually make things challenging. Thibaut was important, but considering the way the game was going, we should not have handed up that opportunity. However, we are leaving with the three points, which is what we wanted, and he did his job.
Xabi Alonso on whether the late chance worries him
"No, I am not as concerned about it now that it is over. However, at the moment, as I already stated, when you are up against nine men, these kinds of scenarios should not occur. Despite having two more players, we failed to close down, lost the second ball, and failed to modify our marking. However, it is now over. And I have three points here.
Xabi Alonso on whether Kylian Mbappé is necessary for Real Madrid
"That is not how I would phrase it. However, we are quite pleased with his progress. He makes snap decisions about his involvement and aspirations. But the others also assist him. You get points for goals, but there is much more to it than that. I will not say it to the person who wrote the headline.
Valverde and Rodrygo together on the right, with Xabi Alonso
It is merely another possibility, not news, in my opinion. Because of their quality, we have seen what they can provide.
On Eduardo Camavinga, Xabi Alonso
"I thought he was great. We caused an imbalance in the first half, particularly on the left wing. Camavinga, Rodrygo, and Carreras found room behind Mario. Although we got into those positions successfully, we lacked a bit in the latter third. They play a lot from there; thus, you need to be very good at adjusting your second plays on this pitch. That is what we did. They essentially only produced opportunities from crosses and set pieces. Camavinga was excellent. An extremely comprehensive performance.
Xabi Alonso's outlook for the coming week
It was a challenging match. It is never simple to get to Getafe; you have to be able to compete. You must be ready to not be the most attractive person at the match. However, the group got up and put forth a lot of effort. In the first half, we had several opportunities to take the lead. Even though the match was not particularly appealing, we still had a good time. We remained focused and completed the tasks at hand. And we have positive vibes heading into next week.
Xabi Alonso on Bellingham and Güler
Both are capable of playing both attacking midfield and midfield. Jude went farther below, and Arda switched places. We have diverse profiles, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Valverde, Ceballos, when he can play in the centre, etc. Güler does, however, possess that trait when you need a bit of extra footwork in the link-up or at the base. We can switch places. However, he finds Vinícius and Mbappé well when he turns and makes the last pass. He is also taking serious action. Both in the centre and on the wings, we must support the alliances we seek. And we must do it with the players we have.
Regarding his emotions, Xabi Alonso
"I am still processing the game from today. It was hardly the most spectacular encounter, but it was tense enough that we had to roll up our sleeves and were ready for it. And that is what happened. It was not really lovely to watch or play. However, starting tomorrow, Juventus will be on our minds.

Earlier this month, the Magpies fell 2-1 against Brighton, but the German international's incredible flick tied the score.
However, the summer acquisition, who has scored six goals for United since joining from Stuttgart in the summer, grabbed attention at the Amex Stadium with a superb improvised finish from Lewis Miley's low cross.
Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert of Bournemouth, Zian Flemming and Loum Tchaouna of Burnley, Chelsea's Moises Caicedo, Aston Villa's Emi Buendia, and Mo Salah of Liverpool are also on the shortlist.
Supporters of the Magpies may cast their votes for Woltemade by visiting here, and voting will begin at 1 pm GMT on Thursday, October 30. The winner will be revealed on Friday, November 7th at 1 pm GMT.

Lisandro Martinez returns to first-team training, giving Manchester United a significant conditioning boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Lisandro Martinez has returned to first-team training for Manchester United, giving them a significant fitness boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Due to a serious knee injury sustained during a Premier League match against Crystal Palace, the Argentina international has not played for the 20-time English champions since early February.
However, Martinez has been speeding up his recuperation in recent weeks, and on Wednesday, the former Ajax centre-back was allowed to rejoin his teammates for training.
It is extremely doubtful that Martinez will play for Man United when they travel to Forest on Saturday, but the 27-year-old might return to the team for the match against Tottenham Hotspur on November 9.
Lisandro Martinez of Manchester United resumes training with the first team.
According to Man United head coach Ruben Amorim, "He’s feeling fine," last week. "I do not want to mention a single day or week because the knee is doing so wonderfully.
"I am not sure, but the team's training is about to begin. After that, Licha's rhythm will determine whether he places or not, but he is closer to starting training again.
The Red Devils will not be taking any chances with the Argentine because of the severity of the injury, and his return may be postponed until after the international break in November.
Luke Shaw's place in the starting lineup is now seriously threatened; therefore, Martinez's return is a significant boost for the 20-time English champions. Martinez is an expert in the left-sided role in the back three.
After joining Old Trafford from Ajax in the summer of 2022, the South American has made 91 appearances for the Red Devils, tallying three goals and three assists.
