Real Madrid in crisis: Is there a risk of losing the top spot?

Real Madrid suffered another setback in the Spanish championship on Saturday. In an exciting game against Osasuna, the two teams drew 1-1. Kylian Mbappé gave the guests the lead in the 15th minute of the game. But a dispute between Jude Bellingham and the referee resulted in a red card for Bellingham in the 39th minute, forcing Real onto the defensive. Ante Budimir equalized for Osasuna with a penalty in the 58th minute after he was fouled himself. This was the third league game in a row that Real Madrid failed to win. The pressure on the team is growing, especially as there is a risk of losing the league lead to Atletico Madrid and Barcelona if they do well against Rayo Vallecano on Monday oe24 reported.

Alaba on the way back

The situation is also getting worse for Real Madrid with the injury to David Alaba, who is expected back in training at the beginning of the week. The Viennese is expected to be fit for Wednesday's Champions League second leg against Manchester City and could give the team much-needed stability after recent unsatisfactory results. In this crisis situation, setting the course for the coming challenges will be crucial in order to avoid slipping further down the table.

An interesting historical connection to Real Madrid is Helénio Herrera, a legendary coach who enjoyed significant success throughout his career. This Argentine coach, whose career has taken him to Barcelona and Inter Milan, is often praised for his innovative tactics and ability to lead teams to great success. His approaches could still be an inspiration for modern trainers today, like on Transfer market is reported. Perhaps a review of Herrera's championship strategies would be needed for the current Real Madrid to emerge from the current situation.
