Real Madrid coach Arbeloa strongly defends Mbappe

Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa has launched a strong defence of Kylian Mbappe after the French forward was criticised for supposedly neglecting his defensive duties in the Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich.​ Some pundits and fans claimed Mbappe did not work hard enough off the ball as Real Madrid lost 4–3 in the second leg of their quarter final, going out 6–4 on aggregate. The Spanish side finished the match with 10 men after Eduardo Camavinga was sent off in the 86th minute.​ Arbeloa rejected the criticism at his pre match press conference ahead of Real’s La Liga game against Alaves. He insisted he had nothing to reproach Mbappe for, stressing that the 25 year old star was at the top of his game, scored in both legs and worked hard in defence as well as attack.​ The coach […]

Liverpool contact Xabi Alonso over potential Anfield return

Liverpool have contacted the representatives of former midfielder Xabi Alonso to ask about his availability for a possible return to Anfield in the near future. The 44‑year‑old, who recently left Real Madrid by mutual consent after a difficult spell in charge, is said to have given a positive response to the initial approach from his old club.​ Alonso had previously turned down opportunities from both Bayern Munich and Liverpool in the spring of 2024, choosing instead to remain at Bayer Leverkusen, where he was enjoying a successful project. Liverpool’s latest move is described as an attempt to anticipate future developments and determine whether they can realistically count on him as a managerial option.​ The club’s hierarchy are balancing longstanding respect for Alonso’s legacy as a player with ongoing admiration for current manager Arne Slot, who remains in charge despite recent […]

Mbappe misses Real Madrid training before Man City clash

Kylian Mbappe missed Real Madrid’s training session on Tuesday, putting his participation in the Champions League showdown against Manchester City in serious doubt. The 26 year old forward recently fractured a finger in the La Liga defeat to Celta Vigo and is now experiencing enough discomfort to sit out full training.​ Spanish reports say the club initially expected Mbappe to play through the pain using protective strapping on his hand. However, he is also understood to be dealing with muscle discomfort in his left leg, which has raised additional concern over his fitness for the match at the Santiago Bernabeu.​ Mbappe has been Real Madrid’s main attacking threat this season, scoring more than half of the team’s goals in all competitions. Losing him would be a major blow for coach Xabi Alonso as he prepares to face Pep Guardiola’s side […]

Real Madrid, Barcelona look to rebound from Clasico fallout

Real Madrid and Barcelona will look to move past the fallout from last weekend’s heated Clasico clash as both clubs return to La Liga action this weekend. Madrid may have triumphed 2–1 over their arch-rivals, but the match exposed underlying tensions — particularly between coach Xabi Alonso and Brazilian star Vinicius Jr. Vinicius, who reacted angrily after being substituted in the 72nd minute, apologised to fans, teammates, and club officials on Wednesday. “Today I want to apologise to all Madrid fans for my reaction to being substituted in the Clasico… I have also apologised in person to my teammates, club, and president,” said the 25-year-old, notably omitting Alonso from his statement. The incident comes amid ongoing contract negotiations, though Vinicius’ current deal runs until 2027. Despite his five league goals this season, the Brazilian has been overshadowed by Kylian Mbappe, […]

Real Madrid Aim to End Barca’s Clasico Dominance

Real Madrid is determined to end Barcelona's recent dominance in El Clásico when the two rivals face off on Sunday in La Liga. Last season, Barcelona defeated Madrid in all four of their meetings. Now, under new coach Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid leads the league table by two points and is looking to extend that lead to five with a home victory. The match is a key test for Madrid's star striker, Kylian Mbappé. After a disappointing debut in this fixture last year, the French international is in superb form, having scored 15 goals for his club this season. Madrid will rely on his attacking threat against a Barcelona defense that has looked vulnerable. A win for Madrid would not only solidify their position at the top of the table but also ease doubts about their ability to perform in […]

Alonso Supports Players’ Protest Over La Liga Miami Match

Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso has expressed support for La Liga players protesting the league’s decision to stage a match in the United States. La Liga recently announced that Barcelona’s away game against Villarreal will be played in Miami on December 20, marking the first time a European league fixture will take place abroad. In response, the Spanish Footballers’ Association (AFE) announced a “symbolic protest” at the start of every La Liga game this week. On Friday, players from Oviedo and Espanyol remained still for the first 15 seconds of their match, though the moment was not shown in the broadcast. “We are against the match; we believe it distorts the competition,” Alonso said during a press conference on Saturday. “There hasn’t been unanimity or proper consultation for it to be played on neutral ground. The protests are positive, and […]

Leverkusen Sack Erik ten Hag After Just Two League Games

Bayer Leverkusen have parted ways with Erik ten Hag after just two Bundesliga matches in charge, the club confirmed on Monday. The Dutchman, who signed a contract until 2027 in May after being dismissed by Manchester United last October, replaced Xabi Alonso following the Spaniard’s move to Real Madrid. However, Ten Hag struggled to steady the reigning champions after the sale of several key players from the squad that won a historic unbeaten double last season. “This decision was not easy for us. Nobody wanted to take this step,” sporting director Simon Rolfes said. “The past few weeks have shown that the steps to build a new and successful team have not been effective.” CEO Fernando Carro described the decision as “painful, but necessary.” The 55-year-old now holds the unwanted record of the fastest Bundesliga dismissal — sacked after just […]

However, this was his first taste of La Liga action at the iconic Bernabéu.
