Alaba claims for Real Madrid
Alaba thinks the current La Liga champions Real Madrid are not very concerned about their recent troubles.
After falling to Villareal in an unexpected loss on Saturday, Carlo Ancelotti’s team struggled to defend their La Liga title, falling three points short of their archrivals Barcelona.
In 16 games played thus far in the Spanish first division, Los Blancos have accrued 38 points, but they have also lost two games and drawn two others.
Alaba had a successful 2022 as his team won the Champions League and the Spanish top division in thrilling way.
Following their 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the 2022 Champions League final, which was held in Paris, Los Blancos were declared European champions for an amazing 14th time.
