Real Madrid: Xabi Alonso's lucid assessment despite the victory against Juventus

 

This Wednesday evening, there was a European football match in the Champions League. Real Madrid had the opportunity to continue their flawless run in the Champions League against Juventus. Xabi Alonso's team, which could count on Kylian Mbappé in form in recent weeks, failed to ignite the match. But the job was done thanks to a goal from Jude Bellingham and, above all, numerous saves from Courtois. After the match, Xabi Alonso had the merit of acknowledging that his team was not perfect at all.

“There were several phases. We improved, we attacked less well, but we adapted. We had more of the ball and we accelerated. That allowed us to create chances. I told them it was a match where we had to work hard, look for opportunities and not lose our balance. And that's what happened. Vini made a great move. We didn't manage to neutralize him, but we came away with the three points. Courtois was also very good. We'll continue like this. We're improving week after week. They caught us out on certain transitions because we wanted to be aggressive in the opposing half. We need everyone. I'm very happy for Jude. After his injury, he needed a good match. Apart from the goal, he played very well in the middle positions. We found him very well in the second half. I'm very happy for him.”
