Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso analyzed the Champions League match against Marseille (2:1). This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In the 72nd minute of the match, after Daniyel Carvajal was sent off, Real was reduced to ten players. Nevertheless, the team managed to secure the victory at the end of the game.
The two goals for Real were scored by Kylian Mbappe, who successfully converted two penalties. Alonso said at the press conference: “Our home games in the Champions League traditionally are challenging.
In the first half hour, we played very well. We lacked a bit of efficiency in scoring, but the team kept working tirelessly.
In the second half, the pace of the game slowed down, but we did not lose confidence in our strength. The red card affected the game, but despite being down to ten players, the team did not just defend; on the contrary, we applied more pressure and took control of the ball.” In the next round, Real will travel to face Kairat.
