The Digest:

Real Madrid's dressing room has split into factions over manager Xabi Alonso, with at least six first-team players reportedly wanting him dismissed just months into his tenure. According to Mundo Deportivo, the discontent emerges despite the club leading LaLiga, highlighting early tensions at the Bernabéu.

Key Points:
  • Vinicius Junior is leading the discontent after being substituted in El Clásico
  • Five other players, including Valverde, Rodrygo, and Endrick, support his stance
  • The squad is divided between pro- and anti-Alonso factions
  • New signings Huijsen and Carreras are among those backing the manager
  • Key stars like Mbappé and Courtois also support Alonso's project
  • Madrid currently leads LaLiga by one point over Barcelona
  • The conflict reveals early pressure despite strong league performance
In the high-stakes environment of the Bernabéu, early success in the standings appears insufficient when the delicate chemistry of a superstar dressing room begins to fracture beneath the surface.
