Without defender Dean Huijsen due to suspension and Trent Alexander-Arnold due to injury, coach Alonso, who only took charge a few weeks ago, switched to a four-man defense, instead of the five that helped Real play solidly in previous rounds.

The change allowed young star Gonzalo Garcia to start alongside Kylian Mbappe, who had just recovered from missing most of the tournament due to health issues. However, the adjustment was ineffective as Real's defence continued to show gaps.

PSG quickly exploited the laxity in Real's defense, scoring two goals in the first nine minutes of the match, leaving the La Liga representative completely outmatched.

"We were two goals down too early and couldn't get back into the game," said coach Alonso. "This is a painful defeat. We have to admit that we played below our ability today."

Real made no adjustments after the break, as according to coach Alonso, the team still had a few scoring opportunities before he made a series of personnel changes in the middle of the second half.

“There are areas where we fall short, and sometimes seeing mistakes helps us learn lessons for the future,” he said.

Despite the regretful defeat, coach Alonso is still committed to bringing more positive things to Real next season, and does not rule out the possibility of more new recruits arriving at Santiago Bernabeu.

“After the break, we will start a new era with a fresh spirit and mindset,” coach Alonso emphasized. “We want to build a real team, where everyone plays for each other. We are one step away from the final, which is very painful. Now let's wait and see what happens next."
