Saying 3-4 players might be a bit much, but I think they need at least two defenders. After Huijsen's red card, Asencio couldn't fill that gap. It'll be a major problem in big matches. Real Madrid needs a good substitute. After conceding an early goal against Paris Saint-Germain, they were left helpless and forced to watch Paris Saint-Germain play. This wasn't a look that suited a team like Real Madrid. I'd expect a fierce battle between the two teams, at the very least. Therefore, the Spanish manager will definitely make some signings.

When PSG scored an early goal against Real Madrid in the first half, I hoped for Real Madrid to fight back and give themselves the opportunity to come back against PSG, but when PSG scored their 3rd goal in the first half, I knew it was over for Real Madrid, and there's nothing they could do in the second half that would make them beat PSG. Yeah, Xabi Alonso is new there, and he has shown positive progress in the Club World Cup, but the semifinal game he played against PSG really exposed how weak Real Madrid is, and if Xabi Alonso doesn't sign 3-4 players to overhaul the Real Madrid squad, it will be difficult for him to perform well next season.

Even if Real Madrid were suppose to lose in the match, they were not suppose to concede so many goals in the match, it’s really a disgrace for Real Madrid to concede that amount of goals. PSG were able to score 3 goals in the first half of the match, seriously I expected many goals in the second half of the match also, but they were able to score just a goal in the second half of the match, but to be serious, PSG humiliated Real Madrid in the semi final of the FIFA club cup World Cup.

PSG next match will be against Chelsea, the match might not really be what we expected, it won’t really be easy for PSG, and we won’t really be seeing many goals in the match, what we will be seeing in the match, might be different from what we saw when PSG played against Real Madrid.

Paris Saint-Germain will come out ontop because they've been the best leading club in the world when it comes to performance. They've been extremely counting good scores and winning games, always been on streak winnings. Everyone is underestimating the rating of Chelsea when it comes to the club world cup. It's been an erratic time to be a Chelsea fan because they're still building their team from scratch and there comes with formidable changes. Enzo Maresca have been an important member for Chelsea, with his presence, they've been able to be on streak winnings and accumulating trophies.

I also did have such a hope but we were all disappointed. But we can still say that Real Madrid was better second half, if not, the score would have been 6 goals to nil. Being able to stop more goals from entering their net and doing lesser number of mistakes was improvement. The most amazing part of the match isn't that PSG won Real Madrid. Rather, Real Madrid played full 90 mins with Vini and Mbappé on the pitch without scoring a goal but conceding 4.

By performance, Chelsea is no match for PSG this season. But statistically, Chelsea is a champion. They won the Conference League while PSG won the champions league, so this is a final of champions. So, anything can happen.

We all expected a more motivated Real Madrid, intent on reopening the match in the second half, but honestly, this PSG team is indomitable; they play with incredible confidence.
Undoubtedly, if they were to win the Club World Cup, it wouldn't be surprising, perhaps only if the opposite happened.
Chelsea is strong, but I doubt they can beat them. I'd love to be wrong! But in the meantime, I've already placed a bet on PSG to win + over 2.5
