Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus! Alonso s three-center-back tactics show his strength, Valverde proves the strongest midfielder again
3:37am, 4 July 2025【Football】
In the key battle in the 8th final of the Club World Cup, Real Madrid defeated Juventus 1-0 with Gonzalo's winning goal and successfully advanced to the next round. This victory not only demonstrated the strong strength of the Galaxy Battleship, but also made people see the increasingly mature team's tactical system under Alonso's coach.

The three central defenders system has begun to show results, and Alonso's tactical concepts are getting better
Facing the Serie A giant Juventus, Alonso once again launched the three central defenders formation. This tactical system was a little awkward in the first half, and the team performed mediocrely, but as the game deepened, the advantages of the three central defenders gradually emerged. The defensive trio formed by Rudiger, Joe Améni and Huyson provides the team with a more solid defensive foundation.
It is worth noting that this system gives full-back more offensive freedom. Trent Alexander Arnold's performance on the right was particularly eye-catching, and it was his precise cross that assisted Gonzalo to score the winning goal. Although the England defender still needs to improve on the defensive end, his contribution on the offensive end has already seen the value of Real Madrid introducing him.
Valverde proved the strongest midfielder again and continued the glory of Ancelotti's era
If anyone is the well-deserved best player in this game, it must be Federico Valverde. The Uruguayan midfielder took on the team's offensive responsibility alone when Real Madrid's overall performance was sluggish in the first half. He repeatedly threatened the opponent's goal with long shots, and several of them forced Juventus goalkeeper Di Gregorio to make a wonderful save.
What is even more impressive is that Valverde even tried a barb shot in the second half. This courageous attitude and excellent technical ability perfectly interpret what a world-class midfielder is. Valverde can maintain such a high level of performance, both under Ancelotti and in Alonso's tactical system, which fully demonstrates his adaptability and professional qualities.
Gonzalo proved the value of the center, and rumors in the transfer market were self-defeating
The most controversial topic in this game was Gonzalo's performance. The young forward was almost invisible in the first 53 minutes and had few touches. However, when the opportunity comes, he shows the sense of smell and ability that a real center deserves. Facing Trent's precise cross, Gonzalo opened the door to victory for Real Madrid with his excellent running position and powerful header.
The significance of this goal is far more than the lead in the score, it is more like a powerful counterattack to the outside world's doubts. Before the game, many media and fans were discussing whether Real Madrid needed to find a new center in the transfer market, but Gonzalo proved with practical actions that the team's existing forward configuration is enough to deal with various challenges.
Goalkeeper Courtois is as stable as a rock, and the defense is gradually recovering his form
Belgian goalkeeper Courtois once again showed the style of a world-class goalkeeper in this game. Although Juventus' offense did not bring him much test in the first half, Courtois's reaction and save were perfect when facing Concesan's tricky shot in the second half. This stable performance at critical moments is an important guarantee for Real Madrid to remain unbeaten in important games. In terms of the defense line, although Rudiger has not fully recovered after returning from injury, the overall defensive system has become stable. Joe Améni's performance in the central defender position was remarkable. He not only made stable contributions on the defensive end, but also performed well on the offensive end. A long shot in the second half almost added icing on the cake.
New aids are getting better and better, and the bench depth advantage is obvious
In addition to Trent, Guler's performance is also worthy of praise. After getting the starting opportunity, this Turkish field showed outstanding technical ability and tactical execution. Although more game experience is needed when facing intensive defense, his role in quick counterattack has been fully demonstrated.
On the bench, the existence of superstars such as Mbappe and Modric provide the team with a strong space for tactical changes. Although the French striker only got 22 minutes of playing time, his positive attitude and desire to win have already seen signs of a rebound in form. The appearance of Croatian veteran Modric has brought valuable game experience and midfield control to the team.
Tactical evolution and future prospect
From this game, we can see that Alonso is gradually establishing his own tactical system. Although the three central defender formation seemed a little awkward in the first half, as the players deepened their tactical understanding, the power of this system is gradually emerging. Especially on the basis of solid defense, the forward penetration of the full-back and long shots in the midfield provide the team with diversified offensive means.
Of course, the team still needs further polishing in some details. For example, cracking ability when facing opponents intensive defense and accumulation of experience in game rhythm control. But overall, Real Madrid is moving in the right direction under Alonso.
Conclusion: The first sign of a kingly style has emerged
The 1-0 victory over Juventus not only shows Real Madrid's profound heritage, but also allows people to see the changes and progress of the team under the leadership of the new coach. Valverde's stable performance, Gonzalo's key goal, and Courtois' brave save, each link reflects the powerful strength of this Galaxy battleship.
As the Club World Cup progresses in depth, Real Madrid will face a more severe test. But judging from the performance of this game, the team already has the strength and confidence to strive for the championship. Under Alonso's tactical guidance, this Real Madrid is regaining its style as the king. I believe that in the next game, they will contribute more exciting performances to the fans.
