I think otherwise but until then let’s see what come out of Alonso, but imo I do think Carlos is better.. he only just had a bad season that’s all .He failed to sign players when there was time to do it and when the injury challenge came there were no really that much players to replace the injury players(not that there wasn’t though but not as competent as the injured). Xabi could meet all he needs anyways.
Are you for real? comparing Xabi Alonso with Ancelotti, both are clearly different. Xabi managed to make a team that was doubted to be a champion eventually become a champion, I'm talking about Bayer Leverkusen. He can make Bayer Leverkusen with an average squad become champions, so given the Real Madrid squad he's capable of doing anything there. I believe this time Real Madrid will get the club world cup trophy.
