Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid is reviving echoes of greatness. Their relentless rhythm has delivered a start only matched twice in the club’s history — thirteen wins in their first fourteen games. To find something similar, you’d have to journey back nearly a century to the 1928-29 season with José Berraondo, or to the 1961-62 campaign under Miguel Muñoz. Sixty-four years later, Real Madrid is once again staring history in the face.

At the helm stands a calm leader with a crystal-clear vision. Xabi Alonso had just a few weeks — the shortest preseason ever at Valdebebas — to shape his project. Yet it was enough. In record time, he has built a united and compact team, one that plays with surgical precision, unshakable ambition, and the synchronized intensity of a symphony at its peak.

Their strength begins at the back. In 14 matches, Real Madrid has conceded just 11 goals — an average of 0.78. Without the derby loss, it would have been 6 in 13. By comparison, last season the team conceded 84 goals in 68 games. The difference is staggering. This season, the defense has become a fortress: seven clean sheets and only one goal conceded in six other matches.

But this Madrid side doesn’t only resist — it commands, attacks, and mesmerizes. Under Alonso, the team has discovered the perfect balance between control and verticality, serenity and intensity. Only Atlético Madrid has been able to briefly pause the Whites’ advance. Every other opponent in LaLiga and the Champions League has bowed to a Real Madrid that seems forged from something extraordinary.

And now, on their march towards legend, a new challenge awaits — one with the name and spirit of a temple: Anfield. A stadium where history roars and legends are born… and one Xabi Alonso knows intimately. There, his team will seek to take another step toward what increasingly feels inevitable — their destiny with glory.
