Mbappé Blames Real Madrid’s Mid-Season Collapse on Loss of Structure
France captain Kylian Mbappé has opened up on Real Madrid’s disastrous second half of the 2025/26 season, pointing the finger at the mid-season sacking of Xabi Alonso. He explained that the team started well with a clear playing style but lost its structure once Alonso was dismissed. Mbappé’s comments serve as a tacit endorsement of the former coach, who was reportedly forced out after clashes with influential dressing room figures over tactics and substitutions. The forward’s remarks also send a clear message to Real Madrid’s board as he navigates fresh tensions under interim boss Álvaro Arbeloa.
