Real Madrid 1-1 Al-Hilal, FIFA Club World Cup: Alonso Has Underwhelming Start With Los Blancos
Xabi Alonso got off to a disappointing start at Real Madrid as the Spanish giants were held to a 1-1 draw by Saudi Arabia바카라™s Al-Hilal in the FIFA Club World Cup on Thursday (June 19, 2025). In his first game as coach of the 15-time European champion, Alonso was denied victory when Federico Valverde바카라™s stoppage-time penalty was saved. The VAR-awarded spot kick looked like it would hand Madrid - and Alonso - a late reprieve after being pushed all the way at Hard Rock Stadium by Al Hilal under new coach Simone Inzaghi. But the Group H game ended tied, with Gonzalo Garcia scoring for Madrid in the 34th minute and Ruben Neves equalizing for Al Hilal from the penalty spot seven minutes later.
