"That made it back-to-back defeats for Real, who have also won just twice in their last eight games in all competitions under struggling manager Xabi Alonso. Alonso is surely running out of time to turn things around at Madrid, though Sky journalist Patrick Berger has posted on X with an update saying that the Spanish tactician is currently still safe ??? Xabi Alonso will NOT be sacked for now and will be given the match against Alaves, Real Madrid sources telling us. @SkySportDE Patrick Berger (@berger_pj) December 10, 2025"
"As well as cryptically saying that something had changed after this result, Bellingham also made it clear that the home fans were entitled to boo the team for this performance. See below for the 22-year-old's comments to CBS Sports, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano ? Jude Bellingham: Today something changed, I can feel that. Now we must understand that we have to improve, all of us. I can understand the boos', people pay a lot of money to follow us and we play for the best club in the world, told CBS Sports. pic.twitter.com/SKmClu9iXn Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) December 11, 2025"
Real Madrid lost 2-1 at the Bernabeu to Manchester City, with Jude Bellingham playing 90 minutes and assisting Rodrygo's opening goal. The defeat was Real's second consecutive loss and the club has won only twice in eight matches across competitions under Xabi Alonso. Sky reporter Patrick Berger posted that Alonso will not be sacked immediately and will remain in charge for the match against Alaves, though sources suggested limited confidence. Bellingham said "something changed" after the result and said he could understand fans booing, noting supporters pay a lot and the team must improve together.
