Real Madrid: Xabi Alonso is not worried about Rodrygo

At Real Madrid since 2019, Rodrygo is undoubtedly going through the most complicated period of his Madrid adventure. Having started very little this season under Xabi Alonso, the Brazilian international (37 caps) has still not found the net since the start of this 2025-2026 financial year. Worse still, Rodrygo has not scored with the Merengue club since March 4, against Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League, a drought of 30 games.

At a press conference before going to Bilbao on Wednesday, Xabi Alonso wanted to reassure the situation of the Brazilian winger. “ You have to trust him and wait. Everything can change with purpose. He has talent, he played some matches and not others. No one doubts his talent and he has the right attitude. We are waiting for it. He needs to regain his feelings with a good match “, he whispered. For this, the Spanish technician will have to start him, which has only happened four times in 15 matches in all competitions this season.
