Xabi Alonso is still unbeaten at Real Madrid.
Starting poorly with only a draw against Al-Hilal, the Royal family quickly regained their winning streak when defeating Pachuca and RB Salzburg at the Club World Cup.
The biggest challenge for Alonso and his students will be Juventus in the round of 16.
The good news for Real Madrid is that Kylian Mbappe has been able to return to focus and help them attack more strongly.
However, legend Jurgen Klinsmann has a concern that the Royal attack cannot contribute enough defense.
The former World Cup winner shared: "Teams with Messi are the only team that can defend with just 10 men.
Even Real Madrid are trying to get Mbappe and Vinicius back to defend.
Mbappe and Vinicius are eager to show themselves, to aim for the Golden Ball. It is understandable that accepting to retreat and defend will make it more difficult for them to compete for individual titles.
Mbappe is no longer a child and Vinicius seems unwilling to defend. He doesn't do that much either. But they are two personalities that Xabi must manage.
The team will take turns to make up for everything and maximize both of their abilities.
However, things were very difficult. Remember that PSG have failed with Neymar, Mbappe, Messi, Klinsmann said, adding that Real Madrid's attack will continue to be unbalanced.
To create a backup plan for Mbappe and Vinicius, Real Madrid has just recruited young talent Franco Mastantuono.
However, Klinsmann pointed out that Franco is also a very defensive striker: At River Plate, the same thing happened to Mastantuono.
They are also trying to adapt to him, because he doesn't defend often."
