The way Real Madrid performed was just too bad. I was
hoping they would make a difference and challenge PSG, but nothing changed. Players didn't follow to Xabi Alonso instructions because the formation he did was 4-3-3 for attacking, but they continued to defend throughout the game and if you look at the information, they changed it to  5-4-1, and still they were unable to control their defense as PSG found it easier to penetrate Real Madrid defense and they played more than 50 minutes without a single on target, Real Madrid dominated just 97 passes in the first half, while PSG dominated more than 380 passes.

Real Madrid did not start well, they conceded a goal in the 6th minute of the game, then another goal in the 9th minute, and then their performance was completely ruined. losing is a part of every game's, but the way they lost is really sad. I have seen Real Madrid play such a bad game before, they were knocked out of the final with one loss, I never thought they would lose so badly.
From the moment I realized Real Madrid would be playing without TAA and Huijsen, I was immediately skeptical. Xabi Alonso introduced Vini and Mbappe into the starting lineup. This meant their defense was weak, so it was no surprise that there was barely any clear possession in the first half. With this format, it's safe to say Madrid players were returning to the style they adopted under Ancelotti.
