The bizarre goal involving German defender Antonio RΓΌdiger has sent shockwaves through Real Madrid and could test the resolve of new manager Xabi Alonso before his tenure has even officially begun. In a moment of sheer confusion and defensive disarray, RΓΌdigerβs inexplicable error gifted PSG a goal that left fans stunned and critics bewildered.
Sources close to the club suggest Alonso was visibly frustrated on the sidelines, watching a moment that defied logic and exposed glaring communication issues within the backline. While it’s unlikely he would walk away before the start of his first season, the incident certainly raises early alarm bells for the clubβs new era.
Real Madrid now faces a critical period of reflectionβnot just on tactical setup, but on mentality and leadership at the back. Alonso, known for his calm discipline, will need to act quickly to restore order and avoid further scenes of βstrangeness and wonderβ on the pitch.
