A Gonzalo We do not know if Mili is missing, as he said -positively with little success- Luis de la Fuente. But what was clear after the duel against the PSG is that who is missing mili is Real Madrid. The white team is, today, far from being able to compete with the great really, as the French team, probably the best in the world at the moment. Those of Luis Enrique They soon showed those of Xabi Alonso that are not yet ready to sit at the table of the elderly. Something understandable, on the other hand. What was not so logical were their own mistakes, in the form of friendly fire, which ended up condemning the Madrid players.

The 4 minute had not been fulfilled when Courtois I already had to intervene with a great stop to avoid the first of Fabian. Seconds later, he appeared again with a miracle before Dembélé. But not even the best goalkeeper on the planet can do everything alone. In the third French onslaught, the goal came. Asencio He signed an improper action of this level: soft control, a ball lost in the area and Fabian did not forgive.

Y Courtois He continued suffering, this time because of Rüdiger. The central lost a ball in exit to the pressure of Dembelé, and the French made it 2-0. Shortly after, another loss of German ended against lethal culminated again by Fabián, He signed a bright double.

In short, 45 minutes were enough for PSG To make clear to Real Madrid That is far away, from the teams that dominate Europe today. However, there are no reasons for drama. This blow is painful, yes, but also logical. Xabi Alonso It has been a month and a half at the head of the team. Despite the varapalo, Madrid has done very positive things in this Club World Cuphe has learned and has shown that he has a margin of improvement.

Vinicius and Mbappé are a problem

For the first time in this tournament, Vinicius y Mbappé They agreed to start … and the old vices reappeared. Xabi Alonso He has a lot of work ahead so that both are understood on the grass, something that for now does not happen.

Vinicius He was especially erratic, losing improper balls of a player of his level. Mbappé, For his part, he played overexcited, without generating just danger or clear chances. Two talents that, today, do not add as they should.

It should be noted that after the game time, Xabi Alonso decided Mbappé And above all, Vinicius.

The lesson for Xabi Alonso

No, this team is not yet prepared to play with a 4-3-3. The decline of House and of Trent led to Xabi to change the system and return to a defense of four. But with three above and two of them –Vinicius and Mbappé– Without being involved in defense, the drawing falls apart.

The return of Militao and Carvajal

He played again Millita 242 days after suffering a serious knee injury. The Brazilian will be very important for the next season for an Xabi Alonso who will drop the white club that a central needs, since Asencio has been very marked in this tournament.

He also played 20 minutes Dani Carvajalwho entered Gonzalo. The Spanish right side played more than nine months after injuring Villarreal at Santiago Bernabéu. Specifically, 277 days later.
