Xabi Alonso is fighting for his future this Wednesday against Manchester City (9 p.m.). One more defeat, and the guillotine could fall. So, who could take the most coveted throne in European football?
Real Madrid: Raúl, the looming thunderbolt? The golden names have already paraded by: Zidane, Klopp, Arbeloa… But now a nostalgic bomb resurfaces: Raúl. Yes, THE Raúl. The legend. The icon. The eternal captain.
Free since this summer after six years guiding Castilla, the former striker is now one of the top favorites to take over the White House, according to AS. And he was… one of the options initially considered by Real Madrid before the club ultimately chose Xabi Alonso. Raúl was reportedly so hurt by the decision that he left the club last summer.
A Hollywood-type scenario? Perhaps. A thrill for the fans? Absolutely. The Santiago Bernabéu hasn’t finished trembling.
