Real Madrid has entered a critical phase after the loss to Celta Vigo, which exposed a lack of intensity, a dearth of ideas, and the diminishing impact of Xabi Alonso’s tactics. Injuries and a red card have exacerbated the situation and heightened anxiety within the club.
Numerous reports have confirmed an emergency meeting at the Santiago Bernabéu to analyze the crisis and determine the manager’s future. The match against Manchester City has become the final test for Xabi Alonso, as he needs a victory or a convincing performance to secure his position.

Meanwhile, Zinedine Zidane’s name has resurfaced strongly. The French coach is ready to return if the club needs a rescue and has a clear plan for change, including signing a striker to allow Mbappé to return to his natural position, bringing in a defensive midfielder to restore the balance lost since Casemiro’s departure, and adding a strong left-back to bolster the defense.
Reports also indicate that Zidane believes some prominent players should leave, most notably Vinicius, as well as players like Ceballos or Brahim Díaz, to make room for more impactful signings.
The main problem remains the winter transfer window, which makes it difficult to implement significant changes mid-season, while Real Madrid risks losing much before the summer, which Pérez prefers for making major decisions.
