Real Madrid hero Guti has appealed to fans not to use the results of the 2025 Club World Cup to judge new manager Xabi Alonso.
Recall that Los Blancos were bounced out of the Club World Cup at the semi-final stage by PSG, losing 4-0 on Wednesday.
Despite the heavy defeat, Guti in a chat with DAZN, stated that he’s convinced Alonso will make Real Madrid stronger before the start of the season.
“Xabi knows that as Real Madrid manager, everything counts. But I’m with him, I’m with him.

“You can’t judge Xabi Alonso’s work in this Club World Cup by everything we’ve said, it’s true that he lets it slip, that we’ll see another Real Madrid and I’m convinced that’s how it will be.”
Guti also had a word for PSG wing-back Achraf Hakimi, who he coached inside Real Madrid’s academy.
He said, “Achraf is a spectacle, he already was when he came down, when he told me ‘hey, let’s see if I can play’, I said ‘but how? Let’s see if we can keep you here’, because it was a spectacle to watch him play.
“It’s incredible how much he’s matured, in the moment he’s with his team and him personally… It’s a spectacle to watch him, I’ve already told him when the match is over and I’m telling him now, for me right now he’s the best right-back in the world.”
