Real Madrid had looked as coherent in a collective sense as they had in many months going into their clash with Paris Saint-Germain, yet in the face of Luis Enrique’s side, crumbled under their pressure. It has not been lost on the club that the return to the starting XI of Kylian Mbappe coincided with a drop off defensively.
Xabi Alonso was asked about their disappointing efforts defensively after the match, and did not address Vinicius Junior or Mbappe directly, but did speak about a need for collective effort. It is a problem that Carlo Ancelotti struggled to resolve this season, and the club are running out of patience.
Real Madrid to back Xabi Alonso
Egos are getting in the way of the collective work, and the Real Madrid hierarchy are all too aware of it, as per Marca. Alonso has identified the problem, and knows that without solving it, his work will be tricky, but the club have communicated to the new manager that they are fully behind him, and will back him up.
Vinicius and Mbappe top the list of concerns
Los Blancos are due to sit down with several of their stars this summer, to discuss their precise desires, what they are looking for, and the level of commitment that they have. In particular, that will be the case with Vinicius, whose form is worrying Real Madrid. His contract renewal is not yet signed, and they are keen to know erxactly what is going through his mind.
Mbappe has also disappointed with his work rate off the ball, and Alonso has made it clear that no player is excepted from their defensive duties. His lack of work-rate is also concerning Real Madrid.
Rodrygo Goes on the way out of Real Madrid
Meanwhile Rodrygo Goes, who started a fifth straight game on the bench for Alonso, is on his way out of the club. Although previously it has been said that Los Blancos are simply open to his exit, now the Madrid-based daily claim that the club have made up their mind, and are looking for a way out for Rodrygo.
They should fire Mbappe as PSG did and got success with great team play.
I share in your sentiment
Ok
Exactly. Keep Rodrigo and let mbappe go. He ruined our attack.
Vin and mbappe should not start at The same time one should be in bench and see how the game will be. And if mbappe scored a gold Vin want to score and wil not pass ball to anyone he to want to score so that’s the problem with him
I don’t buy your argument. We talk of team play not individual players. Mbappe and Vin are key to that team. You don’t play to win always and the team play form sometimes fluctuates, it can’t be constant always. If these two players leave Madrid it will be too ordinary and incompetent. This my humble submission
PSG is playing best football on the planet. I dont think the Madrid side msde too many defensive errors in the first half of the match. Give Mbappe and Vinci Jr peace of mind – they both stand to prove critics wrong.
I agree in my opinion Mbappe and vin are two of the best on real mbappe is always scoring and if they leave real will be left in the dumps.
They should leave mbappe and vini jnr should go
You’re absolutely right since Mbappe’s arrival Roydrigo’s efforts have been overlooked at the expense of Mbappe who to me has not made any significant change to the way we used to play and win matches. To me the guy has been overrated making the attacking guys we earlier had to be less appreciated. Management has to deal with this issue. It’s like we have just brought a problem on ourselves as MADRID.
Bringing in Mbappe is a massive mistake. The team has degenerated since his arrival and psg became much better since his departure. He is never a team player.
Rudiger should b sold or benched period & this the moment the team need to rethink of Sagio Ramos as the last man in defense otherwise it will b more worse.
I totally agree with you
Rudiger has been caught up by age and should be exited. Buy Konate from Liverpool as replacement asap⚽
You’re on point.. Mbape and Vini don’t like to retrieve and assist in the defence and this is really affecting Real Madrid… If only Madrid can be rotating Rodrigo, Mbape and Vini this way they will know the starter is not birth right and they will listen to the coach more better
Rodrigo is better than mbappe
Honestly
Just the same way Baca fired 😂
Yes Xbarret you are Wright about it, mpappe should be fired, vini is clinical superstar, mpappe came to Madrid and Madrid made history of losing everything (bad records).
It’s just a tough season for Madrid
The management should work on the players lapses and they’ll come up better
Rather than to fire players
Mbappe, vinijr are good
I totally agree with you mbappe is not a team player and needs to go now or real Madrid risks a season without any trophies because of mbappes ego no one person is bigger than real Madrid and another reason is because of what he did in 2022 by signing for PSG instead of coming to real Madrid like he said that he would do
You couldn’t be more wrong, see Mbappe is no different from Ronaldo he is that ‘guy’ who can win games for Real Madrid and his proven that. The way I see it is Mbappe doesn’t need to put in alot of effort on his defensive game, Xabi Alonso should be focusing on building a great squad for Mbappe rather then focusing on turning a superstar to a squad player.
Shut up you fool
The coach can’t change his tactics because of one ego player
Mbappe is the problem Madrid has right now
If you notice well all the games he didn’t start we had a better game both offensively and defensively mbappe is the problem Madrid has right now
Sorry for replying you on a harsh tone I just had to correct the trash you were saying
I am reading you guys arguement and there are bits and peices good around. When teams change their team and bring in stars , there will always be issues. A new Coach makes it double worst
The management will just have to forcible get every one on one page the defence changes crested the issues not forwordline , still one team but defensive errors were their issues in this PSG and Arsenal matches .
Big disappointments from such a club. Players were not in the game. Mbappe plays like he is in the playstation running alone with the ball. No team work.
You are right he play style is affecting veni and he is always staying close to veni in the pitch u will hardly find him in the number 9 roll
Methinks it would cost Real Madrid absolutely nothing to accept that football isn’t really about them thereby accepting reality that PSG is the team of the moment. If they shone in the past it also means that everyone is capable of doing the same. Perhaps the enforced dominance of world football by Europe has made Madrid to think that football is about them. It’s a highly competitive sport & the excitement about football stems from that notion. They could have saved themselves the embarrassment of such a heavy drubbing by allowing a better Spanish team, Barcelona, to have been given the slot. We wish R Madrid the best in their rebuilding project.
Maybe, Barcelona should be good long enough to earn their spot you twat. They got good for a season, and you think the world revolves around them. Not a Champions League win in eleven years, and you have the balls to call out Madrid that has flown the Spanish flag for 6 Champions League in recent times.
Kudos, that’s a good response 👏. By the way, people should realise that Real Madrid wasn’t just sent to the club world cup, they actually earned the spot which Barcelona has failed to do….. They couldn’t even win the champions league for Spain
True
It’s not about real not accepting my brother, however if you have noticed I do agree with other teams being amazing however Mbappe and Vini are not helping off the ball. Once they lose the ball they don’t defend like Dembele does. They don’t press the opponent’s defence, they are relaxed up front there hence why Real needs to change that otherwise they won’t win anything. Look at raphinha he defends too. Look at stats from last season Mbappe and Vini ran less distance in a game than most attacking forwards.
….and Barcelona couldn’t even qualify, let alone take part in club world cup 2025….thank u
I think vini is not as he was in season 2023/2024 he’s low and for rodrygo i don’t think he should leave the club he helped this team many times and i also think he should be given a chance to start games and show xavi what he’scapableof, every team loses and make mistakes just because of the los at the club world cup i don’t think we as supportes should blame the club
Shambles; a complete shambles
Vini and mbappe must show some effort because it was clear that during the match against PSG, anytime they loose the ball they make no effort of pressing and they leave the dirty work for Bellingham and Valverde. And for Rudiger and Raul, ion got nothing to say because it was a total disgrace to see defenders from the best team in the world play like this
Focusing on Wednesday’s match some of Real Madrid players were not in the game.The likes of Mbappe and Vini, the defence was extremely poor.But the keeper worked hard he saved very crucial shots otherwise the score line could have been more that 4 . That being the case, the Real Madrid administration should vehemently know that in football there are no sacred players .Mbappe and Vini as of now are useless to say the least.
True.
They aren’t useless at…..but rather Alonzo made that error by combining the two for that crucial moment. Ever since this tournament began Vini started all the way and some time mbappe joined….but surprisingly Alonzo placed mbappe to fight his former club at that crucial moment which I think did not go well. At least excuse mbappe and see that steady progress contnued then mbappe can joined maybe later….
Real Madrid 🤪🤪🤪
PSG cooked them
I believe in vini he just need to practice and forget about any other stuff
I agree with most of the comments made here. However, Alonso also must take some of the blame! You can’t play with one formation and change it when you face strong team. That young defender hasn’t played for sometime kept on bench you can’t bring him in when it’s a tough game. He should have kept Arnold in drop Tchouaméni back and keep velvered in midfield.
With game against a team with high ball position you need someone like Arnold to provide price and accurate passes for counter attack. Instead Gonzalo was brought in midfield by Alonso.
Total disaster!!
I think you are right. The coach f*ck up big time
He was not thinking, 3;0 in 23 mins. You did not make any changes. He ought to change something or do something immediately it is 2:0
PSG did good to punish madrid!so the coach knows where to rectify and who to start and who deserve to be benched…The whole team needs to be reshuffled,we’re in a transitioning period,so it’s up to coach to decide.
Infact xabi Alonso should not entertain to their selfish attitude and the team will collapse.He should consider benching any of Vinicious or Mbape to ensure his proper management in his regime Rodrigo should also be concerned
Ok Mpape must leave the club
Trent had an injury moments before the game started. That forced Alonso to play Ascensio, bearing in mind that Huijsen also got a red card in the previous match, making him miss the match against PSG. Alonso had no option than to play with those players.
However, he could have put Carvajal in the stead of Trent, while starting Militao ahead of Ascensio. And swapping Rudiger with Ascensio. Maybe. At least, Ascensio is faster than Rudiger.
If Trent had played it would have been 7 nil. Trent is good as an attacking fullback but can’t defend. Remember how Vini ran rings around him in the UCL?
Alonso is too soft for vino and mbappe.
Real needs hard-handed men like sagio Ramos(if he’s into coaching)..Ramos doesn’t tolerate jazz
You forgot that Anold’s weakest spot is defence
Football is not about Real Madrid only. Other Clubs are also capable winning games. Good game of football by PSG and they deserved to win. Why so much spotlight on losing team and less applause for the winning team as if they were not capable winners?
I’m very happy because we speak very highly of both Vini and Mbappe, but there’s an African giant who did it for 8 season’s and he’s still doing it for Liverpool but we don’t speak of him.
PSG did good to punish madrid!so the coach knows where to rectify and who to start and who deserve to be benched…The whole team needs to be reshuffled,we’re in a transitioning period,so it’s up to coach to decide.
The match wouldnhave been a perfect one for Madrid, the least, if Mbappe and Vini pressed effectively. In the third quarter of the game, after the substitutions were made, the small press by Madrid saw how the game would have been if all players most especially the frontrunners pressed effectively.
My observation is that Mbappe and Vini are immiscible in the same match. Once Mbappe doesn’t press, Vini also loses the urge to press. And of course and I agree, Vini thinks Mbappe isn’t any better of than him. So who are you not to press? Who should press and give the ball to you to score?
Real Madrid need to get their s**t together. In my view what is most important is a creative midfielder. The defence will be ok over time. I liked what I saw from the returning Eder militao, but I’m concerned about Rodrygo. He is a good player and he defends a lot. I don’t know why Xabi Alonso doesn’t like this young man. As for Vini and mbappe, there’s clearly a big problem here in the shape of Mbappes ego. Something must be done or else Madrid won’t win anything this coming season
Real Madrid have potential to win unconvincingly however, the problem lies straight from the midfield. They lack a pure creative attacking midfielder, and the biggest problem is not utilizing the right wing . They lack a gd number 7 who can use the left foot. Vinicius should leave the club for it to settle permanently coz he is the problem for a poor performance of the strikers. It’s not all about making a name, you need to supply the strikers for them to score. Don’t fear that they will take the glory, it’s there work to score. Then they need a pure number 5 who can command the defense and a pure 6 and number 9 who is a box scorer because all the mbappes are created but are not skilled scorers good with heading the ball. Then lastly, teamwork, commitment and determination are needed as a team to love each other because now there is a lot of pretence. From Uganda.
Madrid should stop playing social media football and focus on the real football
It is well
Xabi Alonso is the wrong he is so dumb I will FUCK HIM And his family he is nit considered he is just laughing
Xabi Alonso see this message from Ronaldojr yesterday I was watching the match and you was just laughing pls be considerate and vini need to be focus
Vin and mbappe should not start at The same time one should be in bench and see how the game will be. And if mbappe scored a gold Vin want to score and wil not pass ball to anyone he to want to score so that’s the problem with him
Hala madrid
Why letting Rodrygo leave? He is such a gem
There’s wisdom in not starring or playing Vin and Mpappe together. B4 Mpappe came, the club was doing so well and Vin was very productive. The special attention and preference given to Mpappe has made him grow “wings”, reason he does not play as a team member. While it is good to want to score, it is better to release ball to a team mate who is better position to do so. This is what Mpappe should learn.
Look Mbappe won the golden boot and has lost weight due to the illness he had I think he needs time to recuperate
The fact is that, Mbappe is extremely egotistical as well as Vinicuus is egocentric. Bothbof them seek personal glory more that they do collective benefit. Again, Real Madrid as an institution, believes in ready-made talent. Unlike Barca, they don’t have the potential to build from the foundation; theirs is to buy the finished product, a.k.a galacticos! Xavi Alonso will have a herculean task blending Mbappe, Vinicius and Bellingham together to play as a team.
Vinicius will never get off the Saudi deal and honestly he shouldn’t. Nobody walks away from that kind of money. Let Vini go and allow Mbappe to play on the left. Garcia and Endrick should compete for No. 9 starting. Hire a world class midfielder to replace Kroos and Modric and Madrid are sorted.
the problem facing galacticos now is aging players especialy in critical areas like defence, for me it wont be a good move to let mbaape go. look at the of goals he he scored for madrid in his firtst season
