Pep Guardiola sends strong message after Real Madrid’s humiliating loss to PSG in the FIFA WORLD CUP SEMI FINAL

🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: The football world is reeling after Real Madrid suffered a devastating 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup, and the fallout has already begun. In a scathing and unexpected reaction, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has publicly blasted Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso, calling him a “baby coach” and holding him fully accountable for what he described as a tactical disaster. Guardiola didn’t stop there—he also pointed fingers at Marco Asensio, the Madrid player he claims was the biggest liability in the humiliating loss.

“Xabi is a baby coach after what he did today against PSG. I warned him about this particular player, but he turned deaf ears to me. Well, you can see the result now,” Guardiola said in a post-match interview that has since gone viral. The Manchester City boss, known for his deep tactical knowledge and intense passion for the game, rarely speaks this bluntly about fellow managers, let alone former players and mentees. His statement sent shockwaves across the footballing world, igniting debates about coaching readiness, player performance, and the current state of Real Madrid under Alonso.

The match itself was a disaster for the Spanish giants. From the opening whistle, PSG dominated every aspect of the game—speed, possession, discipline, and intensity. Real Madrid, usually composed and clinical in big tournaments, looked scattered and completely unprepared. All four of PSG’s goals came from fluid attacking transitions and defensive errors that exposed gaping holes in Madrid’s setup. And at the center of the collapse was Marco Asensio, who was heavily involved in several key moments—for all the wrong reasons.

Asensio’s performance was sluggish and uninspired. Tasked with linking the midfield and attack, he repeatedly lost possession, failed to track back defensively, and was nowhere to be found when Madrid needed someone to press or spark a counter. Many fans and pundits had questioned his inclusion in the starting eleven, but Xabi Alonso put his trust in him, a decision that now looks catastrophic in hindsight. Guardiola revealed that he had cautioned Alonso ahead of the match about relying on Asensio, but his advice was dismissed. “I’ve seen Asensio fold under pressure too many times. Xabi should have known better,” Pep added.

The fallout has been fierce. Madrid fans took to social media almost immediately, and Guardiola’s harsh words seemed to echo their fury. “He just said what every Real Madrid fan is thinking right now. Xabi and that player are fully to blame for this embarrassing defeat,” one fan wrote. Supporters are not only questioning Asensio’s future at the club, but also Alonso’s capabilities as a top-level manager. Appointed with great fanfare and high hopes, Xabi was meant to usher in a new tactical era for Real Madrid, but his side looked completely overwhelmed in the biggest match of their season so far.

What makes the situation even more painful is the scale of the loss—4-0 on a world stage. For a club of Real Madrid’s stature, such a defeat is not just disappointing; it’s unacceptable. And the fact that a former club legend turned manager is at the center of it only adds more emotional weight. Xabi Alonso is now under immense pressure, and unless he can recover quickly and prove his doubters wrong, this could mark the beginning of a very difficult chapter in his managerial journey.

As for Marco Asensio, this may have been the final straw. Despite moments of brilliance in the past, his inconsistency and inability to perform on big occasions have led many to believe his time at Madrid should come to an end. With Pep Guardiola openly criticizing his influence—or lack thereof—on the pitch, and fans calling for a reshuffle, it’s clear the confidence in Asensio is rapidly fading.

In a tournament that was supposed to showcase Real Madrid’s global dominance, they now find themselves at the center of humiliation and internal turmoil. Guardiola’s words may be harsh, but they reflect a growing concern about Madrid’s direction and leadership. Whether this loss serves as a wake-up call or a turning point for Alonso remains to be seen. One thing is certain: the pressure is mounting, and Real Madrid’s wounds from this crushing defeat will not h

eal overnight.
