Team alarmed after breaking free (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

real madrid

'team' is the definition.
(Spanish football team)

'alarmed after breaking free' is the wordplay.
'after breaking' is an anagram indicator.
'free' becomes 'rid' (to be free of something is to be rid of it).
'alarmed' is an anagram of 'realmad'.
'realmad'+'rid'='REAL MADRID'

(Other definitions for real madrid that I've seen before include "soccer team" , "Spanish football team" , "Players" , "side" , "Some footballers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
