Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso conceded that his side were outplayed by Paris Saint-Germain in their first loss since he took charge, saying the French champions benefited from a squad that has been assembled over the past two years while Madrid are still "just beginning." Speaking after the match, Alonso acknowledged the team “suffered” and “it was difficult,” but emphasised that the setback will serve as a learning experience. “It won’t be the last defeat,” he said, adding that Madrid must rest, refresh and return to training intent on improving many aspects of their play.
