Real Madrid boss Alonso fires warning to Vinícius, Mbappé and more
Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso has this week fired something of a warning message the way of some of the headline members of his squad. This comes amid confirmation that the Spaniard expects each and every member of his XI to work on the defensive side of the ball. The subject of work rate was of course a prominent one surrounding Real Madrid across the 2024/25 campaign. This came amid regular criticism of some of Los Blancos' leading players, particularly in the attacking third, for what was considered a lack of commitment to the cause. Safe to say, however, that any such shortcomings will not be accepted by the new man in the dugout in Spain's capital. Drawn on the subject of team defending during a press conference in the early hours of Thursday, Xabi Alonso did not hesitate in confirming: 'In my view, we all have to defend. The 11 players have to press. Vinícius Jr, Jude (Bellingham), Fede Valverde, Mbappé. All of them.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Four people handed suspended jail sentences over Vinícius Jr. effigy
Four people have been handed suspended jail sentences by a Madrid court after being found guilty of a hate crime related to an effigy of Real Madrid forward Vinícius Jr, Spain's LaLiga said in a statement on Monday. They were all involved in hanging a banner reading 'Madrid hates Real' and an inflatable black effigy in a replica of the Brazilian's No. 20 shirt on a bridge before a Copa del Rey match against Atlético Madrid in January 2023. According to the ruling, one defendant was sentenced to 15 months in prison for a hate crime and an additional seven months for making threats, having distributed images of the act online. The other three were sentenced to seven months in prison for hate crimes and seven months for threats. They will not serve prison time, however, after all four signed a letter of apology to Vinícius, Real Madrid, LaLiga and the Spanish soccer federation (RFEF). 'The defendant who posted the video online received a special disqualification from working in education, sports, or recreational youth settings for four years and three months, while the others received three years and seven months,' the LaLiga statement said. The first defendant was fined 1,084 euros ($1,250) and the other three 720 euros (roughly $834), with additional punishments including a 1,000-meter restraining order from Vinícius, his home and workplace, and a ban on approaching soccer stadiums during LaLiga or RFEF matches. They will all be required to participate in an educational program on equal treatment and non-discrimination in order for the prison sentences imposed to be suspended. There was no immediate confirmation from the court and no immediate reaction from Vinícius.
