Alonso under fire before Bernabéu showdown
Real Madrid host Manchester City on Wednesday with Xabi Alonso facing huge pressure after two wins in seven games and that bruising 2–0 defeat to Celta Vigo. Three red cards, one crisis meeting – it’s starting to look less like football and more like a telenovela audition.
The Bernabéu will demand a response, and Alonso insists his side will show another face. City, though, could turn pressure into knockout chaos as the Champions League fireworks return to Madrid.
