After watching this reversal, I realized that Alonso brought not only tactics, but also discipline to Real Madrid

At the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, a tense and intense Champions League reversal ended with Real Madrid's victory.

When the final whistle sounded, the most discussed in addition to two controversial penalty kicks, there was also an impressive picture. Head coach Xavi Alonso walked straight towards veteran Carvajal who was sent off by a red card, and said the warning in front of the whole world in an unquestionable tone.

This is Alonso's Real Madrid. Victory is worth celebrating, but discipline is always first.

From shock to reverse

For Alonso, the opening game of the Champions League was a terrifying start. The opponent's early goals put the Bernabeu in silence for a time. The giant banner in the stands, "I only ask for one thing, I must win the championship this year" was like a huge rock pressing on everyone's heart. Real Madrid, after conceding a goal, did not panic under Alonso's command. They gradually controlled the game with patient passes and high-presses. In the end, with two controversial penalty kicks, the team completed the reversal. Although the referee's penalty will continue to ferment in the next few days, what cannot be erased is the tenacity shown by this team in adversity.

Alonso's lectures

At the critical moment of the team's momentum, experienced veteran Carvajal used an extremely irrational overhead revenge action to attract himself a red card. In the Champions League, this behavior of self-destructing the Great Wall is unforgivable.

The hearts of all the fans of the audience sank instantly. But there is one person who still maintains absolute calmness - Harvey Alonso. As soon as the game ended, he did not immediately celebrate the victory, but went directly to Kavajal who was leaving the court. Without roaring, without exaggerated body language, he just said in a firm tone: "Dani, this is too redundant." This scene is more impactful than any long speech at a post-match press conference. It sends a clear signal to everyone: emotional out of control and discipline-challenging behaviors are never allowed in Alonso's team. In the Champions League, any tiny detail can determine life and death.

Real Madrid set sail in the controversy

In the end, Real Madrid won the most important three-pointer. After the game, Alonso was satisfied with the result, but he once again emphasized the importance of discipline: "I am very satisfied with our performance and three-pointers. But that red card is avoidable. It is a pity that we must talk about it carefully internally."

Champions League, never forgive any mistakes. If Kavajal and the entire team can learn from this red card, this controversial victory will become a valuable asset. Alonso's Real Madrid officially set sail in such a chaotic and hopeful game.
