“Alonso Proud of Real’s Champions League Comeback Against Marseille”

The match against Marseille was a tough task for Real Madrid. Early in the game, Trent Alexander-Arnold got injured, and then Dani Carvajal received a red card. Nevertheless, a win is a win, and head coach Xabi Alonso expressed satisfaction with his team’s determination.

Details: The Real Madrid coach noted that his team kept the game in check until Carvajal’s dismissal. Even with one less player, they managed to secure the win.

Quote: “A lot happened in this match. The first half hour was excellent—we played fast, defended well, and created many opportunities. We could have taken the lead but ended up conceding instead. After that, the game balanced out. In the second half, we pushed forward, even with few clear chances.

I felt we were in control until Carvajal’s red card made things difficult. We showed our Champions League spirit at the Bernabeu, and our goal to make it 2-1 helped us defend with ten men and earn three important points. This victory is very significant.”
