1. Immediate Reaction — Madrid Win, But No One’s Celebrating

A flat performance, a frustrated Bernabéu, and three points that feel more like a sigh of relief than a statement.

Madrid controlled spells but never convinced. Alavés created danger late, exposing cracks that shouldn’t exist in a title chase.

A brutally honest look at individual performances:Who responded after the Bayern disaster, and who still looks mentally stuck in Munich.

The title window is still open, but barely. Every match from here is a pressure cooker.

Questionable rotations, shaky in‑game management, and a fanbase losing patience.What does this mean for his future?

Madrid stay alive in the race, but the performance raises more questions than answers.
