Ceballos Snub: Is Xabi Alonso Sending a Message?

Los Blancos fans, what do you make of Dani Ceballos being the only fit first-teamer left on the bench in Xabi Alonso’s Club World Cup debut? The Maestro’s decision to turn to Modric and Guler instead of Ceballos—especially with Luka likely leaving this summer—has sparked talk that Ceballos could be on his way out. Is this a tactical call, or does Alonso just not rate him? Could we see Ceballos back at Betis, or is there more to this Madrid midfield shuffle? #RealMadrid #Ceballos #XabiAlonso #Sports #Soccer
