Xabi Alonso, the manager of Real Madrid, offered an explanation for his team’s 2-1 Champions League loss against Man City on Wednesday.

After the game, Alonso told the journalists in the press room that Real Madrid’s mental performance against the visitors was lacking.

Remember that Pep Guardiola’s team defeated the Los Blancos thanks to goals from Nico O’Reilly and Erling Haaland.

At the Santiago Bernabeu, Rodrygo did score a goal for the Los Blancos.

“It was a very competitive match with different moments. We started strongly with Rodrygo’s goal and a few other chances, but when you are not at your best mentally, in ten minutes they took the lead from very little, with the corner and the penalty,” Alonso said.

“The team kept going right until the end and has not lost face despite all the difficulties we are facing, like injuries.”

Real Madrid’s next match this weekend will be an away La Liga match against Alaves.
