Xabi Alonso Sacked After Barcelona Win Super Cup

Real Madrid have made a shock managerial change, sacking Xabi Alonso and confirming Álvaro Arbeloa as his successor. Gary and Alex react to the decision and what it means for Madrid’s future. The fallout continues after Barcelona emerged victorious in one of the great Clásicos, defeating Real Madrid to lift the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia.
