Yeah, really, really surprised.
Massive shock.
I've heard most of the Real Madrid fan base in shock as well.
Nobody saw this coming.
I was saying on the podcast earlier that
They played well.
There were loads of positives to take from the game.
It's not like they got thrashed by Barcelona.
Had they been thrashed by Barcelona, I would have said, of course, yes, it's the end of Xabi Alonso.
That would have been the front page of marker and ass this morning.
But it wasn't.
It was a good performance and it seems like they're building something good there.
So, yes, a huge shock.
I have been speaking to people in Madrid that know more than I do right now.
And they were saying the issue was the respect wasn't there.
So, actually...
Respect from who to who?
The players towards Xabi Alonso.
Oh, wow.
As a manager, because obviously we've spoken about how good he was as a player and how all the players, I'm sure, have a huge amount of respect for him in that sense.
