Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso had special praise for Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold after their 1-1 draw with Al Hilal in the FIFA Club World Cup on Wednesday. Both players made their debut for the Spanish side, having joined earlier this summer—Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool and Huijsen from Bournemouth.

Alonso described the occasion as a special moment for the pair and believes they have a key role to play in Madrid’s future. “I want to congratulate Dean and Trent,” he said. “It’s a big day for them, and they’re going to be very important for us.”

The manager also addressed the early substitution of Raul Asencio, explaining it was due to the intense heat during the game. Madrid will now shift focus to their next match against Pachuca on Sunday.
