Alonso's comments

Alonso said that Kazakhstan's 5-0 victory has demonstrated the team's mentality and determination. He believes that every player follows the instructions and plays with a high degree of discipline.

The manager from Spain stressed that the journey of the Champions League is still long. So, maintaining momentum is key until you face your next big game.

Opening pressure

Alonso does not deny that Madrid had difficulties at the beginning of the game. Carriat adopted a radical style of play, and made Real Madrid feel a little pressure through high-pressure.

However, Arda Goul's role in the midfield became a key point in the game. The young midfielder successfully created space and connected the offenses, which eventually turned into goals.

"We started off with a little uncomfortable. They put a lot of pressure on us," Alonso said.

"But when we were able to connect the game with Arda, we found the players in the frontcourt and created opportunities to break through the opponent's pressure," he explained.
