Huijsen, a problem and a solution: Xabi Alonso has the bomb ready for PSG
Huijsen complicates the semifinals, but Xabi has a bomb up his sleeve and he will have it ready for PSG
The match against Borussia Dortmund, despite having been thoroughly dominated by Real Madrid, became complicated due to a play by Dean Huijsen that ended with his sending off. Now they have to face Paris Saint-Germain without one of the most important elements in the defensive sector. However, this opens up a possibility that few would have seen, as we could return to the 4-3-3 with Alonso.
This way, in an attempt to counteract the loss in the offensive sense, he'll try to find a way to establish an outstanding attacking trio. With this in mind, he could count on Vinicius, Gonzalo, and Mbappé in the attack against Paris Saint-Germain. This would be truly remarkable, considering that it means risking everything on the attack.

Nevertheless, what is quite clear is that two players with great goal-scoring instincts, such as Mbappé and Gonzalo, could benefit greatly from this move. With this, we'd return to a back four, where we'll surely see Raúl Asencio return, trying to stop the Parisians.
A different scheme
Logically, the fact that this player will miss the next major event for the white team is a huge blow for the Madridists. However, considering that they still have elements with which they can fight, this match may not be completely lost.
With these three players in the attack, he'll try to get the most out of their offensive level and, with that, cause significant damage with the loss of a player like Willian Pacho. The Parisian defender would miss this semifinal due to the sending off they also suffered against Bayern Munich.

This is what Alonso seeks to exploit in this match to try to break down the French defense and, with that, finish the match early. Of course, the defensive and structural shortcomings will be seen in a significant way, unless he finds a different solution.
We'll see a great match
What is clear is that it will be a truly great match by both teams, where they'll have to give everything to take the victory. This is the moment when they have to prove themselves, and Alonso will be able to show a new version of his new team.
