Football can be very unpredictable. Xabi did great work with Leverkusen and noone could see this coming.

But let's not get too ahead. We were -5 not that long ago.

Will just enjoy this for the moment :)

We have to ask if he would ever be hired if wasn't a Madrid legend

One great season at Leverkusen, then next pretty underwhelming. Battered by likes of Kompany and Gasperini. Vastly different philosophy than what Madrid is used to

Is that what Madrid would go after?

5 months later, the answer is DEFINITELY no

This team is clearly made for counter attacking dynamic football. With this midfield that has no controllers, with those forwards who are fastest in the world

The only reason they hired Alonso is because he played for them. Obviously not a good fit.

They thought they were getting their own version of Xavi.

In the end they got they own version of Xavi.

Nah, we already had our downswing. Flick will keep ironing out the wrinkles.

Keep Araujo away,
Lamine wille improve,
Raphina will be playing full minutes,
Joan will bail us out. Courtois looks not up to snufd.

They need to punt Vinicius. It's quite clear or been clear for a long time. he is the obvious one out.

That would already help a bit, especially if they sign striker too.

Well, it's obvious it's not bad luck, Villarreal have a better goal difference than Real. Crisis is real for Xabi.

They need to fix mf.

xabi needs to pick arda or bellingham. Can’t believe I am saying it cause I have praised bellinghams abilities, but he hurts the mf structure. Should go for Arda with playmaking skills.
