MESSAGE SENT: REAL MADRID'S XABI ALONSO DECISION HITS DRESSING ROOM
The Real Madrid hierarchy publicly backs Xabi Alonso, sending a firm message to the players reportedly turning against the manager.
Recently, there have been some real doubts about Xabi Alonso’s plans at Real Madrid. Things aren't looking great for the manager to get his ideas across.
A few things are causing worries about Alonso. This includes the team’s recent performance and the pushback he’s getting so early into his job.
The fact that a lot of this opposition is coming from inside the locker room makes the situation even more troubling.
Before Real Madrid’s Champions League match, Alonso publicly stated that he had the support of the higher-ups. This sent a strong signal about who is calling the shots on the team.
A Move That Was Planned
AS reports that the Real Madrid board wanted to send a direct message through Alonso. This was meant not just for the media but also for the locker room, which has been turning against the manager.
Alonso said, “It’s not needed. I talked to the president this morning, and I also talked to Jose Ángel. We talk every day to stay in touch.” He made it clear that his meeting with the administration went well.
His words are a firm message to those in the locker room who have been working against him. This was exactly what the president wanted, and now the focus is on the players.
The Real Madrid leaders felt it was time to stop the talk about Alonso’s future and let everyone know that Xabi Alonso is in charge and will continue to be. This starts with the players.
They thought the best way to tell everyone was through a press conference with the manager himself.
Now, everyone will be watching players like Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo Goes, and Endrick. Reports say they aren’t happy with Alonso. The question is, can they get past their problems and put the team first?
If they don’t, they risk losing the support of both the manager and the administration, which could put their futures at risk.
HISTORY BECKONS: CAN DANI CARVAJAL FINALLY EQUAL LUKA MODRIC’S LEGENDARY TROPHY HAUL THIS SUNDAY?
Dani Carvajal previews the Supercup final in Jeddah. Will Mbappe be fit? Plus, the captain’s quest to match Modric’s trophy haul.
On Sunday, Real Madrid gets another shot at a trophy—it’s been over a year since their last one—and who’s standing in their way? Of course, it’s Barcelona, in the Spanish Supercup final. Xabi Alonso’s team aren’t the favourite, but honestly, they’re itching to settle the score after that 5-2 loss to the Catalans in last year’s final.
Before the big game, Real Madrid’s captain, Dani Carvajal, talked to the press. Diario AS caught some of his thoughts, especially about what this final means to him personally.
“Tomorrow’s huge for us. We really want this title. For me, it’s also a chance to catch up with Luka Modric as the player with the most titles in the club’s history.”
Carvajal also mentioned he’s hoping Kylian Mbappe recovers in time to play in Jeddah after that minor knee knock.
“Kylian’s massive for us. He’s the best striker in the world, and I really hope he makes it, because he can change everything out there.”
It’s been a rough first half of the season for Madrid, but things have started to pick up lately. Carvajal wants to keep that momentum going and trusts his manager to guide them through.
“We weren’t at our best late last year. We had so many injuries. The Christmas break helped all of us, honestly. I see Xabi calm and focused. Sure, when results don’t come, there’s always noise. But we’re ready to fight for him.”
About his run-in with Atletico’s Diego Simeone during Thursday’s semi-final, Carvajal didn’t make a big deal of it.
“We respect each other. We both fight for our clubs, that’s all. We shared our views and moved on. Now it’s all about tomorrow and going for the title. End of story.”
And then there’s the question about his contract, which only has six months left.
“I’ve been through a lot, especially after that serious injury. Right now, I just want to train and enjoy playing. The club and I are on the same page. I need to keep playing and show what I can do out there. If we both agree, there’s no problem at all.”
"THEY’RE GOING TO KICK YOU OUT"—DIEGO SIMEONE’S SHOCKING WORDS TO VINICIUS JUNIOR REVEALED
Xabi Alonso’s Madrid edge Atletico in a heated derby. Discover what Simeone said to Vinicius and why Alonso refused to shake hands.
Vinicius Junior and Diego Simeone went head-to-head in a fierce shouting match as Real Madrid edged past Atletico Madrid to book a spot in the Spanish Super Cup final.
The game kicked off with a bang—Federico Valverde blasted in a stunning free kick just two minutes after the whistle. That set the tone for a semi-final that was thrilling and, honestly, pretty heated in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
After halftime, Valverde turned playmaker. He slipped the ball to Rodrygo, who coolly slid it past Jan Oblak to double Madrid’s lead. But Atletico refused to roll over. Alexander Sorloth pulled one back for them almost immediately, setting up a tense finish. Still, Xabi Alonso’s team held their ground and saw out a 2-1 win, setting up a Clasico showdown with Barcelona in the final.
This wasn’t just any derby. Both teams went at each other from the first minute to the last, and tempers flared more than once. The biggest flashpoint came in the first half, when Vinicius and Simeone nearly got physical on the touchline. Cameras caught both men yelling and waving their arms at each other. Fans couldn’t hear the words, but the venom was obvious.
Later, Spanish TV channel Movistar picked up Simeone’s side of the argument. He didn’t hold back, taunting Vinicius: “Florentino Perez is going to kick you out, remember that! They’re going to kick you out; remember what I’m telling you.”
Things boiled over again late on, right after Vinicius left the pitch for Arda Guler. Suddenly, both benches emptied as players and staff clashed in front of the dugouts. Simeone seemed to spark it, yelling “Listen to the people!” at Vinicius and pointing toward the boos echoing around King Abdullah Sport City Stadium.
All of this came as rumours swirled about Vinicius’ future at Madrid. He hasn’t scored in his last 15 matches, and stories keep popping up about a move to Chelsea or even Saudi Arabia. You can tell he’s unsettled.
After the final whistle, Alonso didn’t even bother shaking Simeone’s hand. In his press conference, he called out Simeone for crossing the line. “I heard what Simeone said to Vini, and I didn’t like it,” Alonso told reporters. “You can’t talk like that; some things go too far.”
Before the game, Jude Bellingham backed his teammate. Vinicius has been dealing with whistles from his own fans during a rough patch in front of the goal. Bellingham said, “I can only speak from my perspective. Vinicius is under a huge amount of pressure, and everything he does on the pitch comes from pure emotion. People forget he’s human. I think that’s why he’s struggled in front of the goal. For me, he’s electric—he can create something out of nothing. Goals aren’t the whole story. He’s set up a lot, but yeah, he must find his best form again. You’ve got to look at the whole picture.”
