"PSG is a united team. Meanwhile, we have only started work for a month. Today, Real Madrid suffered. We wanted to do many things but could not. This is painful," said coach Xabi Alonso after losing to PSG.
The Spanish coach said Real had learned their lesson after the FIFA Club World Cup: "There is a gap between PSG and Real at the moment. However, we can still improve our performance. I found some positive points. The players knew they were at the top and we will become a better team after this tournament."

Real still have a lot to do next season. |
Real's unbeaten run under Xabi Alonso ended in the worst possible way. They let PSG score three goals in just 24 minutes, something that had not happened since 2003. The gap was so large that "Los Blancos" could not recover, thereby missing out on a ticket to the FIFA Club World Cup final.
After the match at MetLife, Real will say goodbye to two players, Luka Modric and Lucas Vazquez. In a speech to the media, coach Alonso praised Modric's contribution: "This match cannot overshadow Luka's career. He is a legend of Real."
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said: "Two mistakes at the beginning of the match cost us. This is a difficult defeat to swallow but also brings many lessons. Sometimes, we need this to know that there is still a lot to do ahead."
"We didn't follow the coaching staff's plan. From what I saw, the performance on the pitch was too disjointed and slow," the Belgian goalkeeper added.
