Real Madrid’s dressing room has united firmly behind manager Xabi Alonso following the club’s disappointing defeat to Manchester City, with several senior players stepping forward to publicly express their support. The show of solidarity comes at a crucial moment, as pressure around the team has intensified and questions have begun circulating regarding the direction of the season.
According to developments shared late on Monday night, key figures including Thibaut Courtois, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham and Raúl Asencio addressed the media to make their stance unmistakably clear: the squad stands fully behind Alonso. Their collective message echoed reports emerging from the dressing room, where players are said to have reacted strongly in favour of keeping the manager, urging the club’s board to trust his long-term project.
The public backing is seen as a significant moment for Alonso, who has been navigating a challenging phase marked by inconsistent results and growing scrutiny. Despite the setback against Manchester City, Real Madrid players have insisted that the coach remains the right leader to guide the team forward. Their statements were not limited to routine post-match remarks, but rather formed a unified, deliberate effort to communicate dressing-room confidence in the manager.
