Madrid fails to beat Al-Hilal in Xabi Alonso's debut

Xabi Alonso's debut on the Real Madrid bench, and Alexander-Arnold and Huijsen's on the pitch, has been disappointing. The Whites were unable to defeat Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal (1-1) in the opening matchday of Group H at the Club World Cup. Bounou saved a penalty from Valverde in the 92nd minute.
