Xabi Alonso has been under a lot of pressure in recent days, as Real Madrid have played unconvincingly, losing the top spot to Barca, after dropping 6 points - all draws in 3 consecutive matches.

In all competitions, they have only won 1 and not easily (4-3 Olympiakos) in the last 5 matches. Not only that, in the early match of round 15 of La Liga , Barca ensured they were still leading, with an impressive 3-1 comeback against Atletico.

President Florentino Perez told Xabi Alonso he still supports him, but Real Madrid must improve and first beat Bilbao.

As a result, 'The Vultures' took 3 points at Bilbao's stadium, thanks to another excellent performance from Kylian Mbappe, who scored a double and assisted the remaining goal to help Camavinga help the home team win 3-0.

Defensa said that after the match, Xabi Alonso rushed into the dressing room, shouting excitedly to the Real Madrid stars: “ This is the team I like. Thank you all for today's performance. It was great .”

Another notable detail mentioned was Vinicius' hug with Xabi Alonso. On the Bilbao field, the Brazilian striker was withdrawn by the Real Madrid captain in the 78th minute, but his reaction was completely different, no longer angry like some previous times and remained friendly with the Spanish coach.

Sharing with the media after the match, Xabi Alonso assessed that Real Madrid 3-0 Bilbao was probably the team's best match since the beginning of the season. What he was really satisfied with was that his students controlled the match very well, playing with a determined spirit.

After round 15 of La Liga, Barca currently has 37 points, Real Madrid is second with 1 point less.
