Xabi Alonso absolutely needs to change his strategy when facing PSG, otherwise Real Madrid maybe will lose. PSG hasn't shown any dip in form since winning the Champions League trophy, and that should be a warning to Xabi Alonso. On paper, PSG looks slightly more favored, which is understandable given that Xabi Alonso is still in an adaptation phase. I fully understand Real Madrid value in every competition, they have a better mentality than any other team, but for now, they are not at their best yet. Whoever wins that match will most likely go on to bring home the Club World Cup trophy.
Xabi alonso will have to do his homework properly . Let's not forget that Alonso is going to face one of the best coaches in Europe, Luis Enrique. Last season , Enrique 's mastermind led a mediocre team like psg to dominate the champions league and win the title . Despite not having any star players, PSG is now the best club i n Europe. All this has been possible because of luis enrique.
Real Madrid's squad is strong.but the bonding between PSG's players is very strong . It is difficult for any big team to perform well against this squad. Even in the last match, we saw that Bayern Munich, despite trying hard, could not score a single goal against PSG. If PSG can perform the same against Madrid, then PSG's chances of winning are high. Also , I have been considering PSG as hot favorites from the beginning for the Fifa Club World Cup title. Luis Enrique will want to win every title in this season.
