After the crushing defeat against Paris… Alonso points fingers at the Real Madrid duo!

On a tumultuous night marked by shock and disbelief, Real Madrid suffered one of their heaviest continental defeats, falling 4-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup semi-finals. The staggering loss sent ripples throughout the club, sparking a mounting crisis that could reshape the team’s future ahead of the new season.

What unfolded in the dressing room after the final whistle was even more alarming than the defeat itself. An unprecedented wave of anger erupted from the coaching staff, amid rising internal tensions and looming crucial decisions.

According to the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, coach Xabi Alonso directly blamed Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappé, accusing them of failing to execute the high-press tactics — a failure he views as central to the team’s collective breakdown against the Parisian giants.

Alonso has urged club president Florentino Pérez to take decisive action, including the immediate sale of one of these two stars before the transfer window closes. He warned that “a sense of some players thinking they are bigger than the team” threatens the squad’s technical and tactical cohesion.

The Spanish coach also stressed the urgent need to reinforce the squad with tactically disciplined players capable of restoring Real Madrid’s technical prestige, emphasizing that what transpired against PSG is simply inexcusable.

Will Pérez yield to the mounting pressure and sanction the departure of a key star? Or will internal divisions deepen, further weakening the team ahead of what could prove to be the most challenging season in years?
