Xabi Alonso’s situation at Real Madrid is causing a lot of talk in Spain. The local press assured this Tuesday that there was no ultimatum against the coach.
At a club like Real Madrid, three consecutive draws are enough to raise some questions and start some rumors. And since this is precisely the situation in which the Merengue currently find themselves, the situation of their coach, Xabi Alonso, is being talked about on the other side of the Pyrenees. Could Real’s result on Wednesday evening at Athletic Bilbo have consequences?
The question was addressed this Tuesday by Marca. The Spanish media quickly reassured the concerns of Xabi Alonso’s supporters and supporters. According to him, the management of Real Madrid is certain that time will work in favor of the Spanish coach and that victory will quickly return. The trip to Bilbao is also seen as an excellent opportunity.
On the other hand, the leaders do not see this match as an opportunity to give Xabi Alonso an ultimatum. A victory would be welcome. A defeat, or even another draw, should not cause the status of the former Bayer Leverkusen player to be called into question.
Real Madrid not worried
However, one fact remains: Real Madrid was five points ahead of FC Barcelona before this series of three draws and today they find themselves one unit behind the Blaugrana, now at the top of La Liga. But the Madrilenians are not worried and this Tuesday’s match between Barça and Atlético de Madrid (9 p.m.) partly explains it. Real would not mind a small sharing of points between their two competitors for the title.
Regardless, the Merengue are still in contact in La Liga and are having a good run in the Champions League league phase. No reason to sound the alarm at the moment. It remains to be seen whether the apparent serenity will still be there in the event of a bad result in Bilbao.
