AS said Alexander-Arnold had a muscle injury in his right leg. After consulting with the medical team, coach Xabi Alonso decided not to take any risks. He chose Federico Valverde to play as right-back instead of the new signing from Liverpool.
AS also commented that this decision significantly affected coach Alonso's plans, as he needed a strong squad to face PSG. In the end, Real suffered a 0-4 defeat to the UEFA Champions League champions, and Valverde also had a day to forget when he was forced to play in a position that was not his forte.
In the 1-0 win over Juventus in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Round of 16, Alexander-Arnold shone with a cross for Gonzalo Garcia to head into the opponent's net. This was the former Liverpool star's first assist for Real Madrid, in his fourth appearance for the new team.
In addition to Alexander-Arnold, Real will also be without Dean Huijsen in the match against PSG. The former Bournemouth star will not be able to play due to suspension, due to the red card in the quarter-final match against Dortmund.
For the first time since November 2003, Real Madrid conceded three goals in the first 24 minutes of a match against PSG. "Los Blancos" played passively and could not counter the opponent's fast and accurate attacks.
Coach Alonso must quickly improve the form of the defense before the 2025/26 season starts.
