Manchester City players celebrate a goal against Real Madrid

The pressure was already on Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso and a 1-2 defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League raised further questions about his future.

Arsenal remains perfect in this season’s competition and three points clear at the top of the standings after a 3-0 win against Club Brugge, while defending champion Paris Saint-Germain was held 0-0 at Athletic Bilbao.

The clash between Madrid and City on Wednesday was the standout game of the round. Speculation over his position is likely to intensify after a latest defeat. It’s now just two wins in eight games for Madrid and back-to-back home losses.
