Scapegoats! Real Madrid boss Alonso to offload 3 players after PSG embarassment

Losing 4-0 at any stage is worrisome, but when a team like Real Madrid gets battered on the global stage by PSG, the result stings more.

The defeat in the Club World Cup semi-finals wasn’t just painful—it showed the gulf in class between both clubs at this moment.

Real Madrid are unrecognisable from the team that won the Champions League 13 months ago, and reports suggest some players will pay the price.

According to Fichajes, Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz, and Dani Ceballos are the three players Alonso wants to let go this summer.

Rodrygo, once a key attacker, only played 92 minutes in the entire tournament. Brahim Diaz, despite his energy and occasional brilliance, has been pushed aside.

Arsenal are interested in Rodrygo and are expected to follow up that interest with an offer.

Alonso plans to stick with a 3-4-1-2 formation, focusing the attack on Mbappe and Vinicius Jr., leaving no room for Rodrygo. The Spanish giants will now take stock of the season as Alonso looks to restore the club's reputation.
