Yes, obviously PSG are the favourites to win, but clearly Real Madrid need to realise this defeat and be able to rise again and become a much stronger team and return to winning ways. As for Chelsea, if they don't play a high-level match, I see it as difficult to beat a team that has won everything and is aiming to win this trophy too, and they will.

Xabi Alonso has a lot of work to do, and it won't happen overnight. He needs to adapt to find a playing format that works for the team. The defeat against PSG isn't the only reason to punish Xabi Alonso. It takes time to perfect the team, especially since they were missing several key players in defense during that match. PSG are indeed heavily favored to win the Club World Cup, but Chelsea shouldn't be concerned about that. The most important thing is preparing for the final, so they can accept whatever the result.

What you said is right because to be able to build a good team is not a day work it requires time, so xabi Alonso will definitely needs time to work on his team and to be able to get the anticipated result. Lossing a match doesn't mean that he isn't good and also there was no good defenders on the day of that match. There is no doubt that PSG has proven to be good but I think the hype is too much because sometimes football doesn't end the way we expect it to.what Chelsea needs now is to prepare and focus on how to win the final because they already know what they are up against, so if they want to win they need to be ready.

Just as Luis Enrique was able to bring about a big change in the entire PSG team after taking charge of PSG, Xabi Alonso would have been successful immediately after taking charge of Real Madrid if the Real Madrid team had been organized. Real Madrid's current team is an injury-ridden team, so it is definitely difficult for the manager to win the final or semi-final of a major tournament with this team. Since Real Madrid has a long-term contract with the manager, I believe that the manager will work hard with the current Real Madrid team and try to return to consistent performance again. Now, instead of criticizing Real Madrid's performance or saying that they are a bad team, we have to support them and expect them to perform well. Maybe the manager has already started working on how to bring Madrid's successes back.
