Despite the fact that football is unpredictable, Dortmund will not prevent Real Madrid from winning because, even when they have more quality players than they have today, Real Madrid always beats them. Dortmund has a fighting mentality and even though they concede many goals, they will not give up until the final whistle. They also have a great striker who has two goals in this competition so far, so the Real Madrid defense will not underestimate Guirassy, who takes advantage of every opportunity.

The truth is that football is unpredictable sometimes, and there is no 100% assurance for any team that they are going to win a particular match. So, I don’t expect you to say that Dortmund can’t prevent Real Madrid from winning. It’s clear that Real Madrid has always won matches against Dortmund, and even with that, I would still say that Real Madrid has higher chances of winning the upcoming match against Dortmund.but what’s there is that the story can change one day, and we don’t know which day that will be. It’s possible that it could be this upcoming match. Just know that many things have been happening in football  a team that we never expected can win against strong teams. Those teams have done that to many others.

I agree with you that Xabi Alonso will go a long way to get the confidence of the players using his new tactic, but this tournament is enough for both Alonso and the players to adjust to the new strategy. However, Xabi Alonso is doing a great job and I really like his coaching system. When Mbappe returned from injury, another manager would have benched Gonzalo against Juventus, but he believed in the player and started him, securing the winning goal for Real Madrid.

Yes, everyone knows that Xabi Alonso is a good coach, and he has started showing some signs at Real Madrid by winning matches. I also have confidence in him, and I believe he will do better and achieve something very soon. Alonso is already building confidence in his players, which is why, even with a red card, Real Madrid was able to win the match easily.As you said, if it were some other manager, they might bench Gonzalo against Juventus, especially with Mbappé returning from injury. I think there's a reason for not benching Gonzalo, and it could be that Mbappe isn't fit enough for the tournament yet. I think it's a normal decision for any coach who knows what he’s doing.
