In the just-concluded Champions League match of this round, Real Madrid lost 1-2 to Manchester City at home after being reversed.
If Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso leaves his post, former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp will be one of the candidates to replace him.
Although Alonso currently plans to continue coaching until Sunday's game, Real Madrid's recent back-to-back defeats—first losing 0-2 to Celta Vigo in La Liga and then 1-2 to Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League—have put his position in jeopardy. If the situation continues to deteriorate, the club's management may consider making major adjustments.
It is worth noting that since leaving Liverpool in May 2024, Klopp has not coached again, and he may be about to return to the coaching position now. However, within Real Madrid's locker room, all players still fully support Alonso and wait for him to lead the team out of the predicament.
