Real Madrid were handed a 1-2 defeat at the Bernabeu by Manchester City in the Champions League on December 10, 2025. The host side was in desperate need of a win as they had only managed to secure two wins in their last eight fixtures across all competitions.

However, the result increased criticisms towards club manager Xabi Alonso from the fans and football pundits alike. The manager was even jeered by the fans present at Bernabeu after the final whistle.

Additionally, the Spanish media has been reporting that there's been a split among the players and the manager; however, the players were quick to speak out and dismiss these rumors.
