Sorry to say Mbappe is running the club. When a player has that power then the team won't succeed . Like Al Nassar

Years later we'll realize this is the guy who kept us from turning into Man United or AC Milan. Gracias Xavi! π«πͺ

Real Madrid is loaded with (egos), even seasoned, and experienced Carlos Ancelotti, had some difficulties. Xavi Alonso's inexperience showed, coaching Real, was just too big of a responsibility, and weight on his shoulders, the job is just too demanding, it's that simple. On top of everything else, Real is weak defensively, and that made things worse. I'm a Barcelona fan, I understand, same thing happened to Xavi Hernandez. Alonso did a good job coaching in Germany, but from Leverkusen, to Madrid, it was a big jump. He's got the passion for coaching, but he lacks experience, good luck to you Alonso, and who knows, some day you maybe back in Madrid, never say never.

When Barcelona were down soon after Messi left Real Madrid fans were laughing at them. In those days Barca could not even survive in Europa League and being beaten by teams like frankfurt, Man U.... now atleast Barca is rebuilding back to its glory though not yet there. Now this is the time for RM to suffer as they try to find the formula to revive the club, they should accept and expect more pains ahead where even their so called 15 Champions League history echos won't make a difference at all. There are ups and downs in football, years of glory and years of pain... look at The Blues, Man U, Liverpool, Meaning there's no team that is Invincible in Football as you thought your Team was.. For Now Feel the pain. ππππ

He had it coming. It was actually long overdue. His game tactics were very poor.
