Xabi Alonso is currently progressing in the ongoing FIFA Club world cup and Real Madrid is the only team now left from the Spanish La Liga to still be in the competition after their counterpart Atletico Madrid exited the competition in the group stages. Real Madrid just finished their game against Juventus in the Round of 16 which they won by a single goal 1 - 0. Juventus were so resistant in the game that Real Madrid could only put one goal past. Out of 11 shots on target, the goal keeper was their hero of as he saw off those from getting past him into the net. Real Madrid continues to represent Spain as always.
Real Madrid are La Liga last hope in the Club World Cup, having just managed to advance to the quarter-finals after managing to eliminate Juventus with great difficulty. Real Madrid next step will not be easy, they will face Dortmund in the quarter-finals, the next challenge is much more difficult if they succeed in advancing to the semifinals because they will face the winner between Bayern and PSG. Xabi Alonso will certainly devote all his team's strength to winning the trophy as a beautiful first step in managing Real Madrid, especially since they have just ended the season without a trophy.
Aside being a La liga team's last hope in tournament this is Real Madrid's only hope of winning a trophy before a new season starts so I don't expect them to joke with it. Well, I don't think Borussia Dortmund would be very tough for Madrid because their new coach had once dominated the Bundesliga he's encountered Dortmund on several occasions so he should know how to beat them with his current club that has more better squad and players than the previous one at Germany. Even though it won't be easy I think Real Madrid would beat Dortmund to progress to the next stage.
