It's a twist. Real Madrid (Spain) is making its best season despite rumors of internal division.
Yahoo Sports is the magic of Real Madrid coach Sabi Alonso on the 14th (Korea time). Real Madrid are enjoying their best start to the season in 64 years, reports said.
Real Madrid had a big change ahead of this season. He broke up with Carlo Ancelotti and left Alonso at the helm. Real Madrid lost just one game in 14 games from the opening of August to the Spanish Primera Liga match against Valencia on November 2. He won 10-1 in 11 Spanish Primera Liga matches and won three European Champions League (UCL) matches. However, the team lost 0-1 to Liverpool in the UCL match. It also drew 0-0 against Rayo Bayecano in a league matchup.
Yahoo Sports says coach Alonso has reached a historic milestone. He recorded 13 wins and 1 loss in 14 official games in the 2025-2026 season. It's just not a good start. Statistically, it is the best start Real Madrid has seen in 64 years. It is the second-best record in the club's 123-year history. To find a record similar to the recent one, we have to go back to the 1961-1962 season. It was when Miguel Munoz, the team's symbol, led the team. He also had 13 wins and 1 loss at the time. It was a time when club legends such as Alfredo Di Stefano, Ferenc Puskas and Francisco Hento were the main players. Only once in Real Madrid's history has it done better than this in 14 games. In the 1928–1929 season, he recorded 13 wins and one draw in the league.

It has been said that Real Madrid has recently been suffering from internal division. British media Daily Mail reported 'There is a growing claim that there is a crack between Alonso and the players in Real Madrid. Five star players, including Jude Bellingham, appear to be unhappy with Alonso. Citing a report by Spanish media outlet Mundodeportivo, the media outlet cited Thibaut Courtois, Vinicius Junior and Bellingham as players struggling to get along with Alonso. All three players are known to have problems with the coach's tactics. Vinicius, in particular, was visibly disappointed with the coach. Most recently, he clashed with Alonso over a replacement during a match against FC Barcelona. Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde also seem to be dissatisfied with not securing as many starting opportunities as they prefer. Valverde replaced Daniel Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back'
Meanwhile, Real Madrid will resume its season with an away league match against Elche on the 24th.
