Real Madrid's recent Champions League performance against Manchester City has raised concerns, with a damning statistic highlighting their attacking struggles. Despite taking an early lead through Rodrygo's goal, Real Madrid failed to secure a victory, ultimately losing 2-1. This result puts pressure on head coach Xabi Alonso, who acknowledges the team's challenges, including injuries and a lack of consistency.
The statistics are stark: Real Madrid had just one shot on target from 16 attempts, the lowest tally in a Champions League match at the Bernabeu since the 2003-04 season. This performance has sparked discussions about the team's mental and physical condition, with fans expressing their disappointment through whistles at the Bernabeu.
Xabi Alonso, however, remains optimistic, emphasizing the team's efforts and resilience. He believes that the team is on the right path and is committed to improving their performance, regardless of the opposition. Despite the current challenges, Alonso is confident that Real Madrid can turn things around and achieve their goals.
The team's next test will be in La Liga, where they will face Alaves away from home. As they strive to return to winning ways, Real Madrid must address their attacking struggles and maintain focus and tempo. The pressure is on, but Alonso's leadership and the team's determination will be crucial in their quest for success in the Champions League and beyond.
