Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso spoke about his expectations for the match with Juventus in the 1/8 finals of the Club World Cup, Topsport reported.
"This is a very important match, a new tournament. This is not the first important test, it is simply a very important match. Juventus is a very intense team. They have excellent team and individual qualities, players at the highest level.
We are confident that we will have to face a great opponent, a strong team. Our criteria are not how City played, they are different. We will be ready," said Alonso.
