Follow usLos Blancos suffered a shocking loss vs. Celta Vigo at home in the league as they finished the game with 9 players, and the pressure on head coach Xabi Alonso is rising.
The defeat means 2nd-placed Real Madrid, who will face Manchester City in the UCL during the week, remain 4 points behind the leader Barcelona as the Royal club won only 1 of their last 5 games in LaLiga.
“We are disappointed as we didn’t imagine that the match would go this way. The defeat is making us angry,” Alonso shared.
“We must reach and get back to winning ways as soon as possible. Our team faces Man City in the Champions League on Wednesday, and that’s a match that will give us a perfect chance to react.”
That was Celta’s 1st victory against Los Blancos in the league since 2014, as after that Real Madrid didn’t lose 22 straight matches against them until now.
This was Real Madrid’s 1st game since Trent Alexander-Arnold was ruled out for 2 months with a thigh problem, as his disappointing debut campaign continues.
🚨👊🏻 Xabi Alonso: “I definitely do feel strong enough to turn this situation around”.
“This team wants to compete, we're on the right track”.
