Xabi Alonso: Real Madrid is in a strong group, it's natural for motivation to increase further

Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso commented on the results of the Champions League draw. He emphasized that despite the club's very strong opponents, this situation will become an additional motivating factor for the "royal team."

According to reports, in the general stage of the tournament, the Madrid side will face major European teams like Manchester City, Juventus, Marseille, and Monaco at home. In the away matches, there are matches against "Liverpool," "Benfica," "Olimpiakos" and Kazakhstan's "Kairat" club.

"The opponents in our group are strong, which is certainly a motivating factor. The trip to Kazakhstan is distinguished by its originality. During the competition, we will see adaptation to such conditions. This, in turn, is an unusual situation, so it will be necessary to simplify the logistics as much as possible," Alonso said in his statement.

Thus, the upcoming matches for Real Madrid are expected to be a major challenge not only in terms of sports but also in terms of travel and logistics. Fans are watching with great interest how the team will navigate this path.
