世俱盃H組》五冠王者皇家馬德里遭阿爾希拉爾逼平 新帥阿隆索執教首秀留遺憾
俱樂部世界盃Ｈ組凌晨戰役，在舊制世俱盃五冠王皇家馬德里在補時階段錯失絕殺機會，中場大將瓦爾韋德(Federico Valverde)射失12碼球，最終與沙烏地豪門阿爾希拉爾以1比1握手言和。這場在硬石體育場（觀眾62,415人）進行的比賽，成為皇馬新帥阿隆索(Xabi Alonso)的執教首秀，卻讓隨隊遠征的龐大球迷群體失望而歸。
阿爾希拉爾在義大利教頭英薩吉(Simone Inzaghi)領軍下表現驚艷，頻頻衝擊皇馬防線。開場19分鐘，沙烏地國腳阿爾多薩里(Salem Aldawsari)凌空傳中，萊昂納多(Marcos Leonardo)勁射險些破門；隨後洛迪(Renan Lodi)進球因越位被判無效。

逐漸掌控節奏的皇馬在第34分鐘先打破僵局：頂替姆巴佩(Kylian Mbappé)先發的賈西亞(Gonzalo García)發動反擊，與羅德里戈(Rodrygo)完成精妙配合後低射入網。但沙烏地球隊4分鐘後迅速扳平，內維斯(Rúben Neves)穩穩罰進因萊昂納多在禁區內被犯規獲得的12碼罰球。

下半場皇馬攻勢如潮：替補登場的居勒(Arda Güler)接維尼修斯(Vinícius Júnior)傳中凌空射中門楣；岡薩洛頭槌被門將伯納烏(Yassine Bounou)神勇撲出。終場前3分鐘，皇馬獲得絕殺良機——阿爾卡塔尼(Mohammed Al-Qahtani)防守時手擊賈西亞(Fran García)的臉獲得12碼極刑，但瓦爾韋德的12碼球被伯納烏側身神勇化解，沙烏地球隊終以頑強表現帶走1分。
從利物浦轉投皇馬的阿諾德(Trent Alexander-Arnold)此役完成首秀，賽後坦言：「身披白衣軍團戰袍是夢想成真，但沒能贏球令人失望——這正是皇馬球員應有的勝負心。」這名英格蘭邊衛獲得65分鐘上場時間，特別感謝球迷支持：「從簽約那刻就感受到全球皇馬迷的熱情，今天看台完全屬於我們。」
摩洛哥門神伯納烏成為阿爾希拉爾搶分英雄，他在補時撲出關鍵點球。兩隊教頭阿隆索與英薩吉的執教首秀皆以平局收場，H組出線形勢仍存懸念。

The Alexander-Arnold and Rodrygo dynamic showed Real Madrid's problems will take time to fix
There was a theme in Xabi Alonso's first post-match press conference as Real Madrid head coach: improvement will take time. After Madrid's 1-1 draw with Al Hilal in their opening game in the Club World Cup, Alonso portrayed a calm figure who knew his side were still early in the process. 'Whoever thought everything was going to work perfectly…,' said Madrid's head coach. 'We knew what things were going to work well and others that we have to keep working on to improve.' Advertisement After a season when Madrid looked porous out of possession regardless of their defensive shape, one thing Alonso needs to improve is the team's structure without the ball. Madrid's 4-3-3 against Al Hilal morphed into a 4-4-2 when Alonso's side were defending in a mid-block, with Jude Bellingham or Vinicius Junior slightly behind Gonzalo Garcia. The defensive problems mainly came down the right side, where Al Hilal's intricate wing play mesmerised Trent Alexander-Arnold and Rodrygo. In terms of their positioning, Madrid's players were usually a couple of yards short or blocking passing lanes that were already covered. Below, as Garcia presses Kalidou Koulibaly, Rodrygo holds his position to force the ball wide. However, Al Hilal's left-winger, Salem Al-Dawsari, is dragging Alexander-Arnold inside the pitch, which means Renan Lodi is able to exploit the space once he receives the pass from Koulibaly. The lack of communication between Madrid's right-back and winger, and the speed of the move, catches them out. Alexander-Arnold is left in between Lodi and Al-Dawsari, who is attacking the space from the right-back's blind side… … and the ball is played into his path, but Raul Asencio intercepts it. Rodrygo is miles away from the action and it is alarming that Al Hilal's left-back, Lodi, is in position to receive the return pass if Asencio does not stop Al-Dawsari. In this next example, Alexander-Arnold, Federico Valverde and Rodrygo are in the correct positions as Al Hilal are rotating their left side. When Al-Dawsari plays the ball back to Lodi… … Rodrygo takes a couple of steps inside the pitch to maintain Madrid's horizontal compactness. Meanwhile, Aurelien Tchouameni is keeping an eye on Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, as Lodi plays the ball to Ruben Neves. However, Tchouameni leaves Milinkovic-Savic free when the Serbia midfielder drops to receive the ball from Neves. On top of that, Rodrygo does not adjust his position in time to support Alexander-Arnold, who is in a one-versus-two situation and being dragged inside by Nasser Al-Dawsari. This allows Milinkovic-Savic to find the other Al-Dawsari in space… … and the captain dribbles inside, before combining with the Serbia midfielder, but his shot misses the target. In another example, Al Hilal's holding midfielder, Neves, is in a left-back position and Lodi is higher up the pitch while the ball is at Yassine Bounou's feet. Before the goalkeeper plays the long pass to Lodi, Madrid's right-winger Brahim Diaz is in a peculiar position, where the only assumption possible is that he does not want to leave Garcia defending Koulibaly and Neves on his own. However, that leaves Lucas Vazquez, who replaced Alexander-Arnold, in a one-versus-two situation. Madrid's right-back is initially narrow due to the positioning of Al-Dawsari, and when the ball is approaching Lodi, he hesitates about contesting the aerial duel… … which leaves him in no-man's land. Diaz's weird positioning and Vazquez's hesitancy allow Lodi and Al-Dawsari to combine… … before the left-winger sets up Marcos Leonardo, but the centre-forward misses the target. There were other instances where the reaction of Madrid's right-winger was simply late. Here, Koulibaly chips the ball towards Lodi… … and Alexander-Arnold is in position to contest the aerial duel. But Rodrygo reacts late to the second ball, and Al-Dawsari wins it, with his left-back in a position to support the attack. Al Hilal's captain then carries the ball into space with Lodi in an advanced position… … before putting the latter through on goal, but the Brazilian's opener is ruled out for offside — if Al-Dawsari plays the pass a second earlier, it would surely have been 1-0 to Al Hilal. Later in the game, Al Hilal are overloading the left wing and as Milinkovic-Savic is playing the ball to Mohamed Kanno, Lodi dashes forward from behind Diaz. Kanno then finds the underlapping left-back, with Tchouameni unable to commit due to Al-Dawsari's position between the lines. Tchouameni's decision to protect his zone and maintain his position proves to be the correct one as he blocks Lodi's cross and changes its path. Madrid's out-of-possession problems were not going to disappear after three training sessions — improving the team's structure without the ball will take time and commitment. The reaction in the second half, especially with the introduction of Arda Guler and the improvements on the ball, is a miniature example of the essence of patience and time. Advertisement 'Every game we need to take positives and learn from what we can improve,' Alonso told DAZN after the match. 'Every game will give us lessons to get improving.' Madrid will need to be patient as Alonso hones the team's structure in and out of possession. 'We are demanding the result because we are in a competition,' said Alonso. 'But what we want to learn and what we want to be also takes time.'

Real Madrid's 25-goal academy ace attracting Premier League and La Liga interest
One of the many academy talents that Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has named in his squad for the FIFA Club World Cup happens to be striker Gonzalo Garcia. The 21-year-old forward made his debut for the Merengues first-team setup back in 2023/24. Earlier this year, he went on to score his first senior goal – a match-winner against Leganes to send the team to the Copa del Rey semi-finals. Advertisement Rated highly within the club, Garcia netted 25 goals for Castilla this season, making everyone take note of his talent. Garcia attracts interest from Spain and England As such, Guillermo Rai of The Athletic reports that Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion are monitoring Gonzalo Garcia this summer. An exciting talent. (Photo by) On top of that, La Liga clubs like Getafe and Alaves are also keeping tabs on the Real Madrid forward who has proven himself to be a capable goalscorer at the youth and reserve team levels. As far as Los Blancos are concerned, the report states that they see Garcia as only a substitute, support striker as was the case with Alvaro Morata and more recently Joselu. Advertisement In fact, Xabi Alonso intends to use the youngster in a Joselu-type role during the Club World Cup to see how the youngster fares. But considering that he is attracting interest from multiple clubs who could be willing to offer him regular first-team football, an exit this summer might very well be a possibility for Garcia. The 21-year-old striker has two years left on his contract with Real Madrid, who could push for a buyback option in case of his departure in the summer transfer window.

🔎 The Debrief as Man City and Juve cruise whilst Trent struggles on debut
The first round of group games were completed overnight with all 32 teams now having played once. Here's what happened. You can sign up to DAZN to watch every FIFA Club World Cup game for free. What happened? 📝 Manchester City got their tournament underway with a fairly routine 2-0 win over Moroccan giants Wydad. First half goals from Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku were enough to hand Pep Guardiola's side all three points. Advertisement Xabi Alonso and Simone Inzaghi then took their debut bows in the Real Madrid and Al Hilal dugouts respectively, with the Saudi side holding the European giants to a 1-1 draw. Red Bull Salzburg took advantage of those dropped points as they scored late on to beat Pachuca 2-1 and go top of Group H. The final game of the evening saw Juventus run out comfortable 5-0 winners over Qatari club Al Ain, with Randal Kolo Muani and Francisco Conceição both getting doubles. Player of the day 🔥 📸 Dan Mullan - 2025 Getty Images Al Hilal goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, otherwise known as 'Bono', was outstanding as he helped secure a point against Real Madrid. Advertisement The Moroccan shot-stopper was equalled to six shots that Los Blancos fired his way, including a 92nd minute penalty from Federico Valverde. Stat of the Day 📊 Xabi Alonso joined a select group of Real Madrid coaches who drew their first game in charge of the capital club. What this means 🤔 Barring any major surprises, it looks as if Group G is all wrapped up with Juventus and Manchester City leading the way there. The two European behemoths meet on June 26 in Orlando for what looks like a direct shoot-out as to who will finish top there. In Group H, it's Salzburg who lead the way with Al Hilal and Real Madrid tussling out for second. Advertisement A shock in Los Blancos' next game against Pachuca on June 22 would really open things up. What they said 🗣️ Manchester City goalscorer Phil Foden admitted he was struggling with the Philadelphia heat during his side's win over Wydad: "I'm very happy for the team to start the tournament with a win. It was difficult at times with the heat. They were a top team on the counter-attacks. The tournament is very important, not just for me, but all the players. It is important to get your sharpness now in this big competition." Xabi Alonso was critical of his Real Madrid side after their draw with Al Hilal: ""It's a mixed bag of feelings. It's a pity we weren't able to get the win. I didn't really enjoy our performance in the first half, to be honest. We played better in the second. We were more balanced and handled the ball better. I'll take that with me . We tried to play very fast in the first half and lost the ball a lot." Advertisement Juventus boss Igor Tudor insisted there was still room for improvement despite his team's 5-0 victory: "We started really well. In the second half, I was still saying to slow down a bit because it's hot, to try to maybe manage a bit more. There, we could have done better, but yeah, it's an important result because this team has a lot of quality. It has interesting players." What's next? 👀 There are four more games later today with Groups A and B really starting to take shape. Palmeiras will take on Al Ahly in New Jersey whilst Inter Miami travel up to Atlanta for their match with Porto.
