Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez held an urgent meeting with the club’s board after the unexpected home defeat to Celta de Vigo, a result that has intensified concerns over the team’s worrying dip in form. The discussion focused on the lack of consistency in recent matches, the tactical doubts surrounding the squad, and the team’s evident struggle to control games that, on paper, should be manageable.
The board also evaluated the situation surrounding head coach Xabi Alonso, whose project began with strong momentum but has recently shown signs of instability. With crucial Champions League fixtures approaching, pressure is mounting both internally and from the fanbase, who have expressed frustration over repeated defensive lapses and the lack of offensive clarity.
Inside the locker room, sources point to tension among key players, many of whom are unhappy with their roles, rotation frequency, or recent performances. Questions about future contract renewals and leadership dynamics are also adding to the internal uncertainty.
What could happen with Xabi Alonso?
If the team fails to recover quickly, the board may consider alternative coaching options to safeguard the season and prevent the crisis from escalating any further.
