The club has now gone two straight campaigns without lifting a major trophy, despite changes on the bench. The first move was to hand the reins to Xabi Alonso as Carlo Ancelotti’s successor. The Basque arrived in Madrid after a highly successful spell at Bayer Leverkusen. A former Real Madrid player, Alonso sparked genuine excitement among the fan base, and after the first league Clásico, Los Blancos sat top of the table, five points clear of Barcelona - though without truly convincing performances. From that point on, everything unraveled. Results spiraled, and after losing the Spanish Super Cup final to Barcelona, Florentino Pérez <a href="https://en.as.com/soccer/arbeloa-named-real-madrids-new-head-coach-latest-on-xabi-alonsos-departure-live-f202601-d/" target="_blank" rel="" title="https://en.as.com/soccer/arbeloa-named-real-madrids-new-head-coach-latest-on-xabi-alonsos-departure-live-f202601-d/">decided to part ways with the coach</a>.
