Real Madrid are living their most turbulent week since Xabi Alonso took over. Three straight games without a win — Liverpool, Rayo Vallecano, and Elche — have triggered all the alarms and revived an old fear: that part of the dressing room may not be fully aligned with their coach.

In the middle of that tension, El Partidazo de COPE dropped a bombshell that has shaken the Madrid ecosystem: the locker room is reportedly divided.

No official statements, no public confrontations, but the atmosphere in Valdebebas feels heavier than usual. And while Xabi maintains a calm tone in his press conferences, inside the squad the positions are — according to the leak — very clear.

The Players Who Are Not Comfortable With Xabi Alonso

The list of players who are allegedly dissatisfied with the coach’s management is both surprising and extensive.
It reportedly includes several key names:

• Fede Valverde
• Vinícius Júnior
• Rodrygo Goes
• Brahim Díaz
• Endrick
• Ferland Mendy

The situation with Eduardo Camavinga is labeled as uncertain: not outright negative, but not exactly positive either.

For some, like Vinícius or Rodrygo, the timing matches their difficult moments regarding playing time and roles within the team. For others, like Valverde, the rumor is striking given his typically calm profile and strong relationship with past coaches.

A Situation That Demands a Reaction

The draw against Elche, the inconsistency in their performances, and a lack of offensive clarity have amplified a debate that — as always at Real Madrid — escalates fast.

The team faces a crucial stretch: competitive rhythm, confidence, and the immediate future of a coach brought in to build a long-term project.

If the divide is truly as deep as the leaks suggest, Xabi Alonso will need to unite the locker room before the sporting crisis grows into something more dangerous.

For now, the priority is clear: win again and recover the authority they seemed to have just a month ago.
