LaLiga: Xabi’s Real Madrid Revolution, Flick benches Rashford (Soccer 9/23)

The Morning Footy crew welcomes Phil Kitromilides to break down Xabi Alonso’s early days in charge of Real Madrid. After the shortest preseason in club history, Alonso has already sparked a pressing revolution at the Bernabéu, but can he balance tactics with the task of managing big personalities like Jude Bellingham returning from injury? Plus, in Barcelona, Marcus Rashford finds himself benched for punctuality issues, while Hansi Flick keeps the squad harmony intact.
