Real Madrid senior players are losing confidence in the management of Julen Lopetegui.

Real are reeling after no wins and no goals in the last three games, with Lopetegui's job on the line as they go to Alaves this weekend.

Mundo Deportivo says while publicly the players are supporting the coach, there's confusion and frustration behind the scenes with Lopetegui's tactics and team selection.

Marcelo, Luka Modric, Gareth Bale, Keylor Navas and Mariano Diaz have all been upset with Lopetegui's selection policy this season.

While the squad remains united, those close to the locker room say things could start to deteriorate if they fail to win at Alaves.
