Real Madrid's manager Xabi Alonso stated the club is looking to make squad improvements following a heavy 4-0 defeat to Paris-Saint Germain in the Club World Cup semifinal. Luka Modric's career at Real Madrid concluded painfully, but his legacy includes playing 597 games and winning 28 trophies since joining in 2012. Despite the disappointing end, Alonso emphasized that Modric's contributions to the club would be remembered fondly. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois noted the significant impact Modric had as both a player and a teammate.
"We haven't talked about it during the Club World Cup but from now on we're open to making improvements. We are always looking to improve and there's room for improvement."
"This is not the desired end, it's a bitter end, but he won't be remembered for today's game but for other great ones. He's a legend of world football and of Real Madrid."
