Real's head coach Xabi Alonso shared his thoughts on the results of the Champions League playoff stage. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In the general stage of the competition, Real's opponents were determined as Manchester City, Liverpool, Juventus, Benfica, Marseille, Olympiacos, Monaco, and Kairat. Alonso emphasized that the opponents are strong and demanding, but this further motivates the team.
The match against Kairat in Kazakhstan will be especially challenging. This situation is unique and requires complex logistics.
The trip to Kairat's stadium is approximately 6,500 kilometers, and this distance is calculated for one direction only, he said. According to the coach, the team will try to make the most efficient use of the trip.
Despite these difficulties, Real will put all their efforts into achieving their goals. Competing against such strong opponents in the tournament will be an important experience for the team.
Additionally, Alonso expressed confidence in the players and called on them to deliver maximum results in every match. Each game at this stage is of great importance, and the team's future results will largely depend on these matches.
