The German newspaper "Bild" pointed out that the team's performance and results "did not live up to the club's long-term expectations," while the British newspaper "The Athletic" viewed Alonso's experience as proof that coaching Real Madrid is one of the toughest jobs in football, given the pressures from president Florentino Pérez and the presence of senior players in the team.

On its part, the Italian newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport" considered the decision "very risky, in the style of Florentino," noting that the club made the decision after observing that the team did not fully follow the coach's plans, which is the same fate that befell previous coaches like Rafa Benítez and Julen Lopetegui.

As for the British media, such as the BBC and The Guardian, they focused on the short duration of Alonso's tenure, noting that he left after only eight months. They pointed out that the fans were not convinced by his performance despite some improvement, and mentioned issues in his relationship with certain players, such as Vinícius Júnior.

In Latin America, the Mexican newspaper "Record" described the defeat against Barcelona in the Super Cup as "the end of patience," while TUDN pointed out that disagreements within the locker room were one of the factors, especially involving Vinícius Júnior, who was considering his future outside the club.

Both the French press, such as "L'Équipe," and the Portuguese press, like "O Jogo," emphasized that the loss to Barcelona in the Super Cup final was the last straw, even though Real Madrid is currently second in the league, four points behind Barcelona, and sits seventh in their Champions League group.

The dismissal of Xabi Alonso stands out as a global event, reflecting the immense pressures exerted by Real Madrid's management and the club's fans.
