Xabi Alonso’s future as club manager has been decided by Real Madrid. After the team’s shocking 2-0 loss to Celta Vigo at the bottom of the table in a game they concluded with nine men, supporters jeered them off the field. In 22 games, Celta failed to defeat Real Madrid in the league. Celta defeated Madrid for the first time since May 2014 thanks to two goals from Williot Swedberg in the second half. In their last five games, Los Blancos have only managed one victory. As the hosts collapsed at the Bernabeu, two of their players, Fran Garcia and Alvaro Carreras, received red cards. With high hopes after his success at Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso took over at Santiago Bernabeu in the summer. In the standings, Real Madrid is now four points behind bitter rivals Barcelona.According to AS, Alonso views the Champions League matchup with Manchester City as a “crucial test.” “We are all angry… We have the Champions League game against City to react in, and get this bad taste out of our mouths,” Alonso told the media following the Celta loss.
