The atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabeu has taken a sharp turn for the worse following Real Madrid’s narrow 1-0 home defeat against Getafe on Monday night.
While the entire capital remains in a state of shock, the spotlight has shifted intensely toward the manager, with reports suggesting a significant rift within the squad.

Despite the Spanish coach’s determination to stay and fight for his position, Monday’s setback may have been the final straw for several members of the team.
Internal reports indicate that the squad’s confidence in their leader has been deeply shaken.
While certain key figures, including Vinicius Jr., have reportedly been satisfied with the management since he took over from Xabi Alonso, a growing faction of the locker room no longer supports him.
According to sources from The Athletic, the overall team environment has deteriorated significantly, leaving the manager with the difficult task of rallying a divided group that is no longer fully behind his vision.
