Mundo Deportivo: Alonso has almost no support in RM, his position is in jeopardy

According to Mundo Deportivo, Alonso currently has almost no support within Real Madrid and is on the verge of being sacked.

The report states that Xabi Alonso's expression in the final minutes of Real Madrid's away match against Talavera perfectly reflected the Basque coach's current predicament. He sat on the bench, his gaze somewhat unfocused, seemingly indifferent to the situation on the pitch – his team was under immense pressure from Talavera, nearly forced into extra time, and were in a very passive position.

In a post-match interview, Xabi Alonso claimed he was satisfied because the team's goal was to advance, attributing the late struggles to the Copa del Rey being a special competition. However, he actually left the field in anger, extremely dissatisfied with the team's performance in the final moments.

What angered him even more was the attitude of Real Madrid's management – their support for Xabi Alonso was dwindling, and now the Basque coach had very few supporters within the club's hierarchy. Xabi Alonso's future as Real Madrid coach is precarious; more precisely, his fate will be decided in the upcoming matches.

This week's match against Sevilla, and his first game in 2026 against Betis, will be crucial for his survival. He might not even live to see that point, as Xabi Alonso's situation is precarious; any mistake—including a humiliating victory or a draw at the Bernabéu—could be the final straw.
