Real Madrid’s first match back in La Liga after the international break delivered anything but the response the fans expected. Instead of showing authority against Elche, the Spanish giants

Real Madrid's struggles continued in La Liga after a 2-2 draw away to Elche, a result that leaves serious questions about the team’s form.

This was the case last month as Real Madrid beat arch-rivals FC Barcelona in La Liga, with Vinicius hitting out at Alonso and proclaiming that he is going to leave. This has fuelled reports linking Vinicius with a transfer as a move to the Premier League or Saudi Pro League has been mentioned.

Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso has been backed to manage Liverpool one day but does not believe Arne Slot's job at Anfield is under threat. The Reds tried to bring the Spaniard to Merseyside after news of Jurgen Klopp's impending exit was announced in 2024.

Vinicius Junior has been one of Real Madrid's most important players over the last five years. Despite this, the relationship between the two parties seems to have changed radically, and his contract renewal with the LaLiga side has not progressed as expected.
