On Sunday, Xabi Alonso led Real Madrid to a 0-2 loss against Celta Vigo in front of his own supporters. According to El Mundo, the Real management gathered for an emergency meeting. Here, a win against Manchester City in the Champions League should be set as a requirement for Xabi Alonso to keep his job. City came, City left with a 1-2 win from Madrid. Well into the “next day”, there has still not been an announcement from the Real management, so what happens?
The criticism of Alonso as a coach has not only been for some weak results, but that several players in the Real squad have lost confidence in their coach. Even though it ended with a loss against City as well, Wednesday’s game showed all the players actually fought for their coach.

According to The Athletic , the Real management has decided not to take any action yet. Xabi Alonso still has confidence, but probably not for too long.
According to the BBC, another defeat against Alaves in La Liga will send the Bayer Leverkusen coach out of the club. In other words, trust until the next loss.
