🚩🏟️footballFlorentino Pérez Calls Xabi Alonso to Talk about a Change of Plans after Barça

After the tough defeat against FC Barcelona, Florentino Pérez must make decisions, with the first one being crucial

Real Madrid experienced a painful setback in the Spanish Super Cup final, where they were undisputedly defeated by FC Barcelona. This defeat has left a mark on the club, especially in Bernabéu’s stands, where fans expected more from the team. Barça’s thrashing, even with inferiority in number, has prompted a crucial change of course for the future of the club.

A Painful Defeat

Real Madrid entered the Spanish Super Cup hoping to secure a title that would ease the tension of the season. Despite that, Real Madrid was outplayed by Barça, which dominated and remained solid despite playing with one less player.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, couldn’t find the formula to face a more motivated opponent. Kylian Mbappé was the only standout player for the whites. The defeat was not only humiliating but also exposed the team’s shortcomings, especially in terms of attitude and tactical approach.

Real Madrid’s Silence after the Defeat

After the defeat, Real Madrid remained absolutely silent, which is typical during complicated situations. No major statements were issued, except from Carlo Ancelotti and Luka Modric, who tried to keep calm. Real Madrid TV cut the signal immediately and the social media of the club offered no additional details.

However, the press close to the club quickly lashed out at the players and the management. The comments were clear: Real Madrid was in crisis and rumors about Ancelotti’s continuity began to intensify. This defeat against Barça could be the turning point for Florentino Pérez to make drastic decisions.

Ancelotti’s Continuity is in Jeopardy

Despite his successful track record with the club, Carlo Ancelotti finds himself in a delicate situation. The defeat against Barça, coupled with poor results in LaLiga, has sparked a debate about his continuity in charge of the team.

Florentino Pérez had already considered the possibility of a change on the bench, but the thrashing suffered against Barcelona has accelerated that process. While Ancelotti remains a respected coach, the pressure on him has increased and his future at Real Madrid could be at stake.

The Call to Xabi Alonso: a Change of Course

One of the names that has gained traction as a possible replacement for Ancelotti is Xabi Alonso. President Florentino Pérez is said to have made the decision to contact the former Real Madrid player. He wants to discuss his potential arrival on the white bench.

Xabi Alonso, coach of Bayer Leverkusen, has shown great work and his philosophy aligns with the values of the club. Pérez’s call to Alonso is a clear sign that Real Madrid might be preparing for a significant change in its structure.
