The Xabi Alonso era at Real Madrid did not get off to the best of starts, but there were some promising signs in their opening match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup against Al-Hilal.

Thiago Almada floats across the pitch like any playmaker raised in the Rioplatense school.
He manages tight spaces, has lightningâquick changes of pace, uses pauses as synonymous with rhythm, and delivers sharp passes (with a broad range of them).
However, despite floating and possessing the traits of a classic Argentine No.âŻ10, his movements and runs are outside (or actually a fusion of all) those of No.âŻ10s like Juan RomĂĄn Riquelme, Pablo Aimar, Javier Pastore or the Lionel Messi of Qatar 2022.

Jacob Ondrejka is a Swedish international winger who joined Parma in January 2025 and has so far shown glimpses of talent in Serie A.
Ondrejka, 22, started his career at Landskrona BoIS in 2019 before moving to IF Elfsborg and then to the Belgian Pro League champions Royal Antwerp.
