Real Madrid has been held to a 2-2 draw at Elche in the Spanish league to see its winless streak extend to three matches in all competitions.

Xabi Alonso deployed a head-scratching XI on Sunday evening, benching Vinícius Júnior for Rodrygo and giving the nod to Fran García and Dani Ceballos in the midfield. The gamble did not pay off for the Real Madrid boss, who watched his side put forth an abysmal effort at the Estadio Martínez Valero until he made second-half substitutions.

In a statement later on Sunday, Real Madrid apologized for the error. "Real Madrid C. F. apologizes to Elche C. F. and its player André da Silva for having mistakenly included, in the obituary of an institutional video, his image instead of that of André Silva, brother of Diogo Jota, Liverpool player."

Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo top the list of Real Madrid stars that are reportedly opposing to new coach Xabi Alonso's leadership.

Speaking on Radio Marca, David Sanchez believes Real Madrid would have lost to Elche if it weren't for the referee.
