|Khaleej Times

-
The 25-year-old Brazilian, who scored in Champions League finals during Real’s triumphs in 2022 and 2024, has been substituted in 10 of the 12 matches since Alonso took charge in June following Carlo Ancelotti’s departure.
He started on the bench in the other two games, including last week’s Champions League opener against Olympique de Marseille.
Saturday’s match against Espanyol highlighted the puzzling situation.
