""I'm not going to get into that," Alonso said. "There are lots of statements coming out of Barcelona and we can't assess them all. "The important thing is the pitch and what happens on it, where we've come from, what lies ahead and how we play the game. That's what matters most and what we've been working on. "The most important thing is us: our quality and our strength.""
""A few weeks have passed since the derby and we've been correcting things and improving. "I think we're in good spirits, playing well and competing well. It's a good moment. I like to evaluate the process and in the 12 matches we've played, there's been improvement. "There is room for improvement, but it's November and no trophies have been won yet. There is still a long way to go in the season, but right now we are only thinking about"
Xabi Alonso refused to engage with Lamine Yamal's social media comments accusing Madrid of 'steal' and 'complain', insisting that the focus must remain on the pitch. Alonso emphasized team quality, strength, and specific game plans with and without the ball, highlighting the need to stick together, control pressure moments and distances, and improve consistency. The fixture is his first Clasico at the Santiago Bernabéu with a chance to go five points clear in LaLiga. Madrid recovered from a 5-2 derby defeat by Atletico with four straight wins, conceding only one goal since, and Alonso noted improvement across 12 matches.
