After Real Madrid defeated Juventus 1-0, Real Madrid coach Alonso accepted an interview with Yitian.

He said: "Because of Juventus' ability and their coach's tactical philosophy, we expected this to be a difficult game. We knew the game would be very close, and it turned out to be so, but in the second half I knew our moment would come."

"However, we did not kill the game completely and could still be tied. We had a chance, but Juventus also had a chance. This is an interesting game."

What do you think of Juventus' performance?

"As I expected, a solid team with strong collective and individual abilities that knows how to fight. Vlahovic's performance on the offensive end and in confrontations is very dangerous, he is a very threatening player. This is a very hard-working team, and there is no doubt that they will become stronger."
