Real Madrid 1 Al-Hilal 1: Alonso’s reign off to disappointing start as late penalty SAVED on Alexander-Arnold debut

REAL MADRID drew 1-1 with Saudi side Al-Hilal as new boss Xabi Alonso handed Trent Alexander-Arnold his debut.

Gonzalo Garcia fired the Spaniards into the lead, only for former Wolves star Ruben Neves to level from the penalty spot. Real had their own spot kick late on, only for Fede Valverde’s effort to be saved.
