Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso participated in a press conference after the Champions League second round match against Kairat.
"We came with a clear plan and aimed to score six points. The next game will be against Villarreal, and it was important for us to score more goals. We achieved the goal, the players took the game seriously and played well. Now we'll go home thinking about the game against Villarreal," said Xabi Alonso after the match.
On Kylian Mbappé's hat-trick
"Now he is in such a state that he plays a decisive role in every game. He is very effective, he acts calmly in front of the goal, and he has proven this once again. We need to create as many opportunities for him as possible. He also scored a great goal in the derby, and we need to further develop his skills. I'm very pleased with Kylian's goals, his daily impact on his teammates, his dedication to his work, and his ability to have a great season."
About Kairat
"Kairat" has proven worthy of playing in the Champions League. Here we saw how important this competition is for people. The atmosphere at the stadium was wonderful. I express my best wishes. Good luck to "Kairat"!
In-game situation
Perhaps we felt a little uncomfortable at the beginning of the game. A one-on-one situation arose at "Kairat." Such situations can cause confusion in the team. Huler found himself in an awkward situation. In the first minutes, the intensity of "Kairat" surprised me.
It takes time to reach the target
If we had more time, I would like to spend more time here. The mountains here are amazing.
