After the 4–3 loss at the Estadio Olímpico Lluís Companys—which marked the final blow to Real Madrid’s La Liga title ambitions—Pérez decided to take a bold and pivotal step in the club’s history. He announced the appointment of Xabi Alonso as the team’s new head coach, starting with the Club World Cup.
