"Real Madrid being eliminated in the semi-finals like this is painful"
Meeting PSG in the early morning of July 10, Real Madrid showed a weak performance in both defense and attack. The Royal team could not get the ball up, only had 4 shots on target in 90 minutes and did not penetrate the opponent's net once. Meanwhile, the defense continuously made mistakes, conceding 4 goals. This heavy defeat caused Real Madrid to stop in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. At the same time, this was also Real Madrid's first defeat under coach Alonso.
In the post-match press conference, coach Alonso assessed: “This tournament is very tough. Obviously, Real Madrid being eliminated in the semi-finals like this is painful. But PSG is at a higher level, something they have maintained from the Champions League to the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. Real Madrid must accept this difference.

The defeat is bad news for the fans but I think it is necessary. Real Madrid have to face it, something we can face more in the future. Real Madrid need time to reset everything. I think all the players need a good holiday. Real Madrid will take the positives from this match and we will stand up and show the character of a great team.

The Spanish coach also explained why Real Madrid quickly conceded two goals when the match had not passed 10 minutes: “I do not blame any individual. PSG is a well-organized system, with a very long operating time. In the first 10 minutes, they overwhelmed Real Madrid, receiving 2 painful blows. What is even more shameful is that Real Madrid conceded 3-0 before half-time. We were facing an opponent in very good form, at a high level. The way PSG won Real Madrid was no different from the matches in which they had dominated other teams before. Real Madrid could only endure.”

On the other side, PSG showed an overwhelming attacking style. Despite scoring 4 goals against Real Madrid, coach Luis Enrique affirmed that PSG still wanted to continue attacking, scoring more goals if there was still time. He shared: "PSG has scored a lot of goals since January 2025 and we are one of the teams that have conceded the fewest goals. PSG will not stop even though the opponent is Real Madrid. When playing against big teams, PSG players always want to assert themselves, playing with 100% determination. After the match, my phone was full of messages from Barcelona fans congratulating me."

Defeating Real Madrid, PSG will be in the final of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. If they defeat Chelsea in the final match, coach Luis Enrique and his team will have their 6th title in the 2024 - 2025 season. The 55-year-old coach expressed: "Winning many titles and making history has been PSG's goal from the beginning. At the club, the players always give their all because they know that winning titles means a lot to the fans. After the match with Real Madrid, we are ready to win new titles."
