Defensive errors had Real Madrid on the back foot from the start<\/a>, but in reality, they never got close to Luis Enrique\u2019s red-hot team.<\/p>\n After cruising to the final four, Real Madrid were unable to match PSG, and Alonso will spend the coming weeks focusing on how and where to improve.<\/p>\n Alonso was clear in his view of where his team are right now and he believes they are not even close to PSG\u2019s current level.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a lot to analyse and learn from. We now know where we are, and where to look, and where we want to be and prepare for it.<\/p>\n \u201cPSG are a team. We have just begun our journey. We suffered and it was difficult. There are many things we want to do better. It hurts today.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the last game of the 2024\/25 season. Our season now starts in August.\u201d<\/p>\n It was not just the four goals that separated the two teams at full time, PSG\u2019s dominance was displayed across the board, as Real Madrid flopped.<\/p>\n Luis Enrique\u2019s side topped the in game possession stats, with 68% compared to 32% for Alonso\u2019s team, with 17 shots to 11.<\/p>\n More precisely, they scored four goals from seven shots on target, where Real Madrid\u2019s two efforts on the PSG goal did not really trouble Gianluigi Donnarumma.<\/p>\n Perhaps the best stat from the game came via pass masters PSG who registered 631 successful passes from 681 attempted in the game compared to Real Madrid\u2019s 255.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Xabi Alonso rejects PSG comparison in stern Real Madrid omission<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso is under no illusions over the task facing him after their FIFA Club World Cup exit.
