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.
If Xabi Alonso can guide Bayer Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga league title and finish unbeaten in the Bundesliga league, just imagine what Xabi Alonso will do and achieve at Real Madrid, which has more quality and world-class players than Bayer Leverkusen, so I am not surprised with the way Xabi Alonso is performing in the Club World Cup tournament with Real Madrid. I didn't watch the Real Madrid and Juventus game, but I knew Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid would surely overcome the Juventus test because Juventus has been in a mess for a very long time, and they can't beat a club like Real Madrid if they don't improve their performance.
Real Madrid could only win by a narrow 1 goal from Juventus and overall Real Madrid's performance in the club world cup competition so far has not been that impressive although this cannot be used as a reference because Xabi Alonso has also just become Real Madrid's coach and he still needs time to adapt.
However, from what Xabi Alonso achieved with Leverkusen, even the phenomenal season in the Bundesliga when they were undefeated cannot be compared to Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid now, this is clearly very different, especially the pressure of being Real Madrid's coach.
