Las risas de Álvaro Carreras cuando Fran Garcia sale antes que el.






"It is important to note that blaming Mbappe for everything is lazy. People tend to lean into extremes, and blaming Vinicius’s poor form on Mbappe is too common; as is the disregard of all the variables that coincided, freakishly, with Mbappe’s arrival: Kroos’s departure, leaders leaving one by one, ACL injuries, players playing through pain, and the team relying heavily on young inexperienced talent while putting up with their growing pains. Also: coaching turmoil and shifts in identity. It’s been a two-year, perfect storm. Vinicius is not without blame when we discuss the failures of the Vini-Mbappe connection. Media tends to have debates about whose fault this all is. It’s not black and white; good vs bad. People should be free to criticize both, because both parties have been poor in their own way. Keep in mind one important story from this season that will be remembered for decades to come when we look back on the 2025 - 2026 season: When Xabi Alonso arrived at Real Madrid, he wanted to bring something different — something fresh — to the team’s identity. He had seen the team’s tactical struggles under Carlo Ancelotti the year before. He wanted to play faster, take less touches, be more surgical, and find openings in more creative ways than simply pumping the ball to Vinicius on the left wing and watching the offense stagnate. That offense was built around winning the ball through rabid ball recoveries, hunting opponents high up the pitch, and two key players: Arda Güler and Mbappe. Güler would take one touch, and use his second to feed a through-ball to Mbappe. Mbappe would take one-to-two touches and score. It was a system that worked. Güler racked up assists, Mbappe racked up goals, and Real Madrid racked up wins. Their only loss until November was away to Atletico Madrid — a game where the team rushed Bellingham back in his first start since recovering from shoulder surgery. He wasn’t ready. But eventually, Alonso incorporated Bellingham into the team, and by the time the Clasico rolled around in October, Bellingham himself was providing the through-balls to Mbappe, gliding out of pressure, and pressing opponents. In all this, it was Vinicius that was losing the spotlight. Alonso rarely gave the Brazilian the 90 minutes — either not starting him or subbing him off in the second half. When he had the ball, Alonso asked him to play quicker, to find teammates before defenses could set, and to tone down superfluous dribbling. It was a double-edged sword. Vinicius wasn’t happy, and the frustration built up inside him. And this is where the aforementioned story concludes: Alonso took Vinicius off in the second half of the October Clasico. Vinicius reacted furiously. The team collapsed, and was never the same again. What was supposed to be a wave of momentum to start the season as league leaders, turned into a funeral that sucked the soul out of the team." - @KiyanSo : managingmadrid.com/kiyans-observa…


The worst signing Real Madrid made was by appointing Xabi. It is going take to an exceptional coach to repair the damages he made. How can you tell me a team of Bellingham, Mbappé and Vinicius. You made Mbappé the sole pillar in the team. That's when the individualism started
