Real Madrid Make Xabi Alonso Sack Decision After Man City Defeat

Real Madrid will retain Xabi Alonso as manager despite a poor run including two wins in eight games, supported by players and club leadership, Marca reported.

  • On December 10, 2025, Real Madrid will give Xabi Alonso more time at the Bernabéu after Rodrygo scored but Manchester City replied through Nico O'Reilly and Erling Haaland.
  • Mounting speculation that Alonso could be sacked grew as Real Madrid have won just two of their last eight games, intensifying pressure after the Manchester City defeat.
  • Several teammates came out to show backing for the manager, Jude Bellingham said `100%` players support Alonso, and Rodrygo voiced support on December 10, 2025.
  • The defeat leaves Real Madrid seventh in the Champions League group standings, with top-eight qualification for the knockout stages now at risk.
  • Alonso urged players to `believe that the tough times will pass` after Manchester City left the Bernabéu with three Champions League points, while supporters at the Bernabéu voiced frustration as Real Madrid players struggled to equalise.
