Real Madrid have not had as good a start to the season as they would have liked and they are currently third at the La Liga points tally with a couple of wins and as many draws. However, the fact which is consoling them at the moment is that arch-rivals Barcelona have not had the best of starts as well and they are even further down at the points tally.
It is not Real Madrid’s La Liga campaign which has raised eyebrows but their UEFA Champions League opening game against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in which they were hammered 3-0. The forgettable start to the UEFA Champions League is only expected to increase the pressure on manager Zinedine Zidane.

If reports published in Don Balon, a Spanish media outlet, are to be believed, Eden Hazard and Sergio Ramos are not very happy with rumours and speculations of Mourinho replacing Zidane. This is because both the players have not had a healthy bonding with the Portuguese and hence do not want him to be their manager.
The reports also add that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is well aware of how the two star Madrid players feel about Mourinho and he has even told the former Madrid boss that it would be difficult for the club to hire him again even if Zidane fails to deliver as the manager.
