Real Madrid drop points and lose top spot after a 1–1 draw with Girona — Mbappé had to bail them out with a penalty just to salvage a draw.

Real Madrid fan

MadridMidfieldMeltdown
Season’s basically over lol. Another trophyless year incoming — and we still have to watch six more months of this boring, hopeless football.

CapitalChaosWatcher
Honestly, do we even need Alonso or Vinícius at this point?

BernabeuInsideLeak
This match just proved how broken the club is internally.

ShotCountSufferer
Twenty-five shots for one goal… classic.

DisjointedDespair
Everything feels disjointed. Nothing connects. Just pure chaos.

WinterWindowWrecker
Sell Alonso, Vini, and Rodrygo as a bargain end-of-year bundle please.

DrawStreakDoomer
Three straight league draws… fantastic.

TacticalTantrumTeller
Just sack Alonso already. Slow decisions, awful lineups, no tactics. Now I finally get how Liverpool fans felt when they got stuck with Wirtz.

SentimentalSignings
Vini and Rodrygo only stay because Pérez got sentimental after Casemiro worked out. That’s it.

FutureFourthPlace
At this rate we’ll finish 3rd or 4th in LaLiga and get knocked out of the UCL in the round of 16.

DressingRoomDrama
Alonso’s just bluffing at this point. If he can’t even deal with the unhappy players, then he should explain why and leave.

PostWCProphet
If we finish trophyless he’s 100% getting sacked. But who comes next? Deschamps after the World Cup? Maybe Madrid brings him in since Zidane’s probably taking France.

ProgressionPessimist
This team has zero sense of progression. Nothing looks like it’s clicking.

ViniOrNothing
Without Vini we wouldn’t create a single chance.

ClasicoContextCritic
Winning El Clásico doesn’t matter if you keep dropping points everywhere else.

SanMamesSorrow
Next match is at San Mamés… yeah we’re cooked.

KylianCarryMode
Mbappé scoring is literally the only thing this team has right now.

RightWingReminder
When Mbappé actually won the World Cup he was a right winger. Same when PSG made the UCL final. Ever since he started playing LW/CF both PSG and France got worse.

MathCrisisMadridista
We’re still in 2nd and mathematically fine, but being Madrid manager means even two bad weeks = crisis.

RoadDropMerchant
We’re dropping points away from home like it’s a hobby.

NarrativeHungryNation
First it was Vini–Mbappé coexistence. Now it’s Güler vs. Bellingham. This fanbase loves a good narrative.

KroosCravingCrew
We need someone like Kroos — someone who can actually use Vinícius properly.

RamosRageRevival
Bring Ramos back in January just to yell at everyone, honestly.

ValverdeGhostRunner
Valverde actually tried to make runs into space today, but nobody uses it. And no CF who pins defenders… just play Gonzalo more.

NoHaalandReality
Haaland is never coming. We’re broke.

TacticianTruthBomb
A real tactician needs complicated communication skills, leadership, authority to cut people, and the trust of the board. Just being smart doesn’t make you a manager.

BoxRunBeliever
Nobody runs into the box. Whenever someone does, it becomes a chance. But nobody passes into the run, so everyone eventually stops trying.

ExcuseEraAlert
Alonso is entering the excuse-making stage. That’s when you know it’s over. He’s gone by December. Who replaces him?

RodrygoJustice
That Rodrygo situation was a penalty. Home whistle saved them.

PaperSquadTruth
The squad is good enough on paper, so Pérez probably thinks it’s all Alonso’s fault. But honestly the players just aren’t good enough.

ViniBlockerBlues
As long as Vini’s here any attacking reinforcement becomes pointless because he demands to play. So we wait until minute 89 to throw in Gonzalo. This can’t continue.

PressingParadox
Alonso wants intense pressing and tight passing combinations. We have players who refuse to press, dribble into turnovers, and can’t move off the ball. He must be losing his mind.

MastantuonoMystery
Since Mastantuono was dropped, we stopped winning. Coincidence?

RightSideFixer
Mastantuono isn’t amazing yet, but he’s the only guy who actually moves and creates rhythm. Modrić used to do that when he was young. The whole right side is a mess — bringing him back might help.

WeakTeamWarning
Our wins vs weaker teams were mostly Mbappé carrying. If Mastantuono improves the defensive intensity a bit, maybe we stop leaking goals. But City are going to destroy us worse than Atlético did.

ValverdeVision
Valverde made great runs into open space today but nobody — looking at you, Trent — ever plays the pass. Mastantuono at least causes chaos. Better than Rodrygo by miles.

LeverkusenLogic
Funny how Xabi Alonso could go undefeated with Leverkusen but struggles at Madrid. Football management is wild.

PerfectFitPhilosophy
You need the right coach and the right pieces. Alonso works with the Bayer squad because it’s a perfect fit. Coaching Madrid is a different beast entirely.
