Xabi Alonso is once again taking a gamble, the Negreira case is having an intense day, plus the aftermath of European competitions and a fiasco regarding the 2026 World Cup that leaves fans disappointed.

The Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, home of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles, will host Real Madrid vs Red Bull Salzburg this Thursday, June 26, in a matchup that will decide who tops Group H at the 2025 Club World Cup.

Real Madrid appointed Xabi Alonso as manager in the summer following Carlo Ancelotti's departure. They were eliminated in the FIFA Club World Cup in the semi-finals, losing 4-0 against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). They haven't had a good 2025-26 campaign so far either.

Paris Saint-Germain delivered a masterclass in attacking football to thrash Real Madrid 4-0 on Wednesday, booking a mouthwatering FIFA Club World Cup final against Chelsea.

Despite Xabi Alonso’s strong start at Real Madrid, poor results and growing locker-room tensions have cast doubt on his future. With this in mind, Los Blancos are reportedly preparing for his potential departure by identifying his replacement—a choice that has taken many fans by surprise.
