The Xabi Alonso era at Real Madrid began with promise, but it just hit its first major bump — and it was a big one. A 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup semi-final left fans stunned and the new boss searching for answers.

Real Madrid crashed out of the FIFA Club World Cup at the semi-final stage, losing 4-0 to the European Champions, PSG. It was a tough watch as the first two goals were gifted to the opposition by defensive mistakes.

In this sweltering heat, Real Madrid were in hell against the PSG press. Raul Asencio was caught dawdling over a clearance in his own box and was robbed of the ball by Ousmane Dembele, who after rounding Courtois - and being brought down in the process - had Fabian on hand to tap into the open net.
