Luis Enrique praises Xabi Alonso’s strategy ahead of PSG vs Real Madrid clash

Ahead of the Club World Cup 2025 semifinal at MetLife Stadium, Rutherford — PSG coach Luis Enrique has praised the strategy implemented by Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid.

The match between PSG and Real Madrid will take place early Thursday morning, with both teams pursuing a spot in the final.

Real Madrid has shown impressive form — recording four victories and one draw from their last five matches in this tournament since Alonso’s appointment about one and a half months ago.

“It’s always a pleasure to play against Real Madrid, it’s always enjoyable and will always be enjoyable,” Enrique told DAZN.

The former Barcelona coach acknowledges that Alonso’s implemented strategy makes Real Madrid a difficult team to analyze.
