Real Madrid's head coach, Xabi Alonso, finds himself in a complicated position as the match against Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup approaches, due to the return of French star Kylian Mbappe and the ongoing brilliance of young striker Gonzalo Garcia.

Although Mbappe's place in the starting lineup is unquestionable, Garcia has made a strong case for himself after a remarkable performance in the tournament, putting the coach in an unenviable position.

According to the newspaper "Marca", the coach is considering changing his plans according to several scenarios, including maintaining his formation with three center-backs and two players, which means there will only be two positions available in the front line, likely to be occupied by Vinicius and Mbappe.

Given the high levels displayed by Gonzalo Garcia, the option of including him as a key player in an attacking plan with three forwards is also a possibility, which would require a change in the defensive system and a return to a four-man backline.
