Widely dominated by PSG (4-0), Real Madrid lived a nightmarish evening. In the first period, Parisians literally walked on the Merengues, inflicting a football lesson rarely seen at this level in recent years in Real Madrid. At the final whistle, the Spanish press did not mince its words to qualify the Madrid performance. But faithful to himself, President Florentino Pérez kept his head high. Questioned by the journalist Edu Aguirre for El Chiringuitohe launched a sentence with meaning: “Morale never weakens.” A statement that reflects his character well, he who never gives up. Despite this rout against the reigning European champion, it would be far too early to bury Real Madrid. The Spanish club has repeatedly proven its ability to reverse the trend, even in the most complicated moments of a season. The transfer window is still open, and the leaders remain in search of a reinforcement at the post of left side.
Arrived only a few weeks ago, Xabi Alonso is therefore experiencing difficult beginnings on the Madrid bench. But drawing conclusions would be a mistake. Between the Rodrygo case, the management of the Vinicius – Mbappé – Gonzalo trio, or the tactical questions around a three or four defense, there is no shortage of construction sites. Merengues supporters, they wonder. The resumption of the championship is already decisive. Case to follow.
