Xabi Alonso really needs to fix this before the season starts. There was something wrong with the strategy he employed in yesterday's match. And the team chemistry wasn't good either. Poor teamwork will only result in poor play. Even if a team is filled with many star players, without good teamwork, it won't change the situation or make the team better.
Besides the poor defense, I think the blunt attack was also a problem in yesterday's match against PSG. The midfield didn't look particularly good either. So I think Xabi Alonso really needs to improve everything there. But it's not about the players in the squad. It's about teamwork and perhaps the strategy employed. Because, in terms of squad depth, I think Real Madrid is already quite good.
On the other hand, this is further proof that PSG are currently far superior to Real Madrid in terms of performance. PSG can put Real Madrid under pressure and make mistakes that lead to goals. Real Madrid certainly has good squad depth, but when the opposing team plays better, any strategy may be ineffective. We shouldn't just focus on how Real Madrid should play to win, while we forget how to appreciate the opposing team that has a better performance.
PSG are now in the final and need just one more win to complete their title quest. Luis Enrique and his team are in high spirits, but Chelsea certainly won't stand idly by and allow PSG to progress unabated. PSG may be the favorites in the final, but football is unpredictable.
