Jude Bellingham denies rumors of a rift with Xabi Alonso: 'It’s a load of rubbish'

The internal storm at the Santiago Bernabéu has claimed another victim of media speculation, but this time, the player involved is fighting back. Jude Bellingham has officially broken his silence regarding reports of a supposed "clash" with former Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso. The English international used his official communication channel on his personal app, JB5, to issue a blistering denial, labeling the claims that he led a campaign against the Basque coach as "total rubbish."

The timing of Bellingham’s outburst is significant. Following the dismissal of Xabi Alonso—triggered by the 3-2 Super Cup loss to Barcelona—several Spanish media outlets began circulating theories that the locker room’s "heavyweights" were unhappy with Alonso’s methods. Bellingham, tired of being the face of these "fake news" campaigns, decided that passive silence was no longer an option.

For several days, rumors had been swirling that the relationship between the 22-year-old midfielder and the Tolosa-born coach was like "oil and water." Frustrated by what he perceives as a targeted campaign based on lies, Bellingham opted for a direct and unfiltered approach to clear his name and protect his reputation within the Madridismo.

“Until now, I have endured too many of these things, always hoping that the truth would reveal itself in time. But honestly... what a load of s***,” the midfielder stated at the beginning of his message, making no effort to hide his absolute fury regarding the narrative that had been constructed around him.

Rather than using a polished PR statement, the former Borussia Dortmund star went straight for the jugular of those feeding the rumor mill. "I feel genuine pity for the people who cling to every word of these clowns and their supposed 'sources.' Do not believe everything you read," he added, delivering a scathing critique of how information is handled around one of the most respected sporting entities in the world.

Bellingham’s frustration points to a larger issue within the modern football landscape: the relentless pursuit of engagement at the cost of accuracy. He demanded a higher level of accountability for those who speak on behalf of the Real Madrid community.

"This group of people must provide explanations for spreading unreliable information with the sole objective of getting clicks and digging into rumors," Bellingham concluded. His message was clear: he will not allow his image to be used to justify the instability of the club’s technical bench.

The significance of this statement goes beyond mere words. Jude Bellingham has been the heartbeat of the Real Madrid midfield since his arrival, and any perceived friction with a coach—especially a legendary figure like Xabi Alonso—could have long-term consequences for his career in Spain.

Under Alonso, Bellingham’s role shifted slightly toward a more disciplined defensive contribution, which some analysts speculated was the source of his "frustration." However, by speaking out so forcefully, Jude has reaffirmed his commitment to the club’s values and his respect for his former manager. He wants the world to know that while the results on the pitch were not what the team desired, the professionalism within the dressing room remained intact.

As Álvaro Arbeloa takes over the first team as interim manager, Bellingham’s public stance serves as a "reset button" for the squad. By shutting down the rumors of internal division, he is helping Arbeloa stabilize a locker room that has been under intense siege from the press.

The upcoming weeks will be vital for Jude and Real Madrid. With the Copa del Rey and La Liga races heating up, the Englishman knows that the best way to silence the "clowns" is with performances on the pitch. For now, the "JB5" statement stands as a definitive wall against the misinformation that has plagued Valdebebas since the Jeddah final.
