Liverpool’s Shock Win Helps Trigger Real Madrid Meltdown as Xabi Alonso Exits
Tonight we’re talking about Liverpool and the ripple effect their Champions League win has had across Europe, because one of the biggest managerial stories of the season has just unfolded at Real Madrid.
Xabi Alonso is out at Real Madrid after just seven months in charge and Liverpool are very much part of the story. The former Madrid midfielder was brought in as a long-term project, a man expected to restore dominance and stability at the Bernabeu. Instead, his short reign ended abruptly after a painful 3–2 defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup.
But long before that final blow, warning signs were already flashing. One of the most damaging moments came in the Champions League, when Liverpool beat Real Madrid with authority. For a club that measures itself by European nights, that defeat cut deep. It wasn’t just the result, it was the performance. Liverpool looked sharper, more organised and more confident, while Real appeared uncertain and disjointed.

That loss added to a growing list of problems. Real Madrid were also beaten by Manchester City in Europe and suffered key domestic setbacks. What made it worse was the sense of internal tension. Reports suggest Alonso struggled to manage big personalities in the dressing room, including senior figures and attacking stars who were already under pressure for poor form.
At Real Madrid, the consequences have been immediate. Alonso’s exit shows how unforgiving the club remains. Past success as a player, even legendary status, buys very little time when results slide. The club has already moved quickly, placing Álvaro Arbeloa in charge as an interim solution.
For Liverpool fans, there’s a quiet sense of validation here. Wins against Europe’s giants matter beyond the scoreboard. They expose weaknesses, accelerate change and sometimes, as we’ve seen now, help bring an entire project crashing down.
So while the headlines focus on Alonso leaving Madrid, Liverpool’s role should not be overlooked. On the biggest stage, they proved they still belong among Europe’s elite and their impact is being felt far beyond Anfield.
That’s the latest on a story that reminds us just how powerful one result can be in modern football.
