Real Madrid secured their place in the Club World Cup semi finals via a 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund in New Jersey as Xabi Alonso’s side now face PSG – here’s how his players rated.
Tested either side of the break as Dortmund looked to force their way back into the game and pulled off an outrageous game-winning save in added time.
Registered a second assist of the Club World Cup, as his clever cut back was buried by Fran Garcia, and he’s growing in confidence in his hybrid role.
Relatively quiet game for for the Germany international but was a calming influence at the back.
Continues to impress with his calmness and maturity and relished the battle with Guirassy and Brandt.
The left back spot remains open for Real Madrid next season, and Garcia is doing his best to convince Alonso, fired home a superbly taken goal after a dominant opening quarter of the game.
Keeps playing a vital role at the base of Alonso’s midfield, slots in between Huijsen and Rudiger, which gives Trent and Garcia licence to push forward.
A relatively quiet night for Real Madrid’s captain but he remains one of Alonso’s first names on the team sheet
Busy in the Real Madrid engine room again, but saw his energy levels drop in the second half, before being replaced.
Popped up with an assist for Gonzalo Garcia and looks confident with the faith being shown in him by Alonso
Real Madrid’s No.30 continues to be the story of the Club World Cup as his starting spot over Kylian Mbappe was again justified. A fifth goal of the competition and he showed just how instinctive he is in the opposition box.
Missed a clear first-half chance, but looks ready and willing to work with Gonzalo, and was able drift out to the left more.

Ancelot was not playing Rodrigoes,,then with arrival of Alonso, we thought things could change but Alonso is not playing him.Something is missing here. How can all the two coaches did like him?instead of blaming the coaches, let's try to check on his side. Don't you think that maybe he has an attitude which makes the coaches dis like him? What makes them dis like him ? They must be a reason..

Dear X . Alonso ,Fran Garcia shows everyone that he's good in your system, Please keep him as the second left back . Another suggestion: Don't destroy the winner team for more replacement instead of you are still in the pitch with adversaires. Try to make some replacement for one or two players if needed .
So u think Xabi Alonso will see ur message 🤦♂️😂

But I encourage you for the new playing style which is very different with Ancelotti coaching style, up to now, you're in very good way to make Real Madrid fans happy.

Anyone in his normal senses wouldn't let Rodrygo Goes on the bench or worse still let him leave , maybe some people out there think so much better .
