Real Madrid Players Want Xabi Alonso Sacked, Vinicius Junior Leads Criticism

At least six Real Madrid players are pushing for the sacking of manager Xabi Alonso, as per Mundo Deportivo. Brazilian player Vinicius Junior has been vocal in criticizing Alonso, especially after being substituted during the El Clasico last month.

The squad is split into two factions, with players like Fede Valverde and Brahim Diaz not happy with Alonso's appointment. However, some players, including summer signings like Dean Huijsen and Alvaro Carrera, support Alonso.

Real Madrid is currently trailing Barcelona in La Liga standings, drawing 2-2 against Elche on Sunday.
