Xabi Alonso

Xabi Alonso could be sacked if Real Madrid fail to win against Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday, reports Onda Cero‘s Fernando Burgos.

The journalist disclosed this after Madrid’s disappointing 1-1 draw against Girona on Sunday that helped Barcelona gain a one-point atop the La Liga table.

Alonso has been under intense pressure for the club’s lacklustre performance in recent weeks.

Sunday’s draw marked Madrid’s third successive single-point haul in the Spanish top-flight this season.

The Spanish tactician took over as manager in June after an impressive reign at German side Bayer Leverkusen.

Many fans are calling for his ouster, accusing him of being passive both during games and press conferences.
