The flow between the players has improved and they have started syncing properly. I believe the same energy will be felt in other games and they will learn to keep the intensity and mentality from start to finish to avoid what happened today.
Real Madrid almost gave Deportivo Alaves a chance to equalize based on the lack of concentration they had at the end which almost lead to a goal. It was a better game for Real Madrid because they were able to score even from the first half and did not have to rely on penalties in this game. Mbappe is synchronizing better with more players on the team, I noticed his free flowing football from the left side of the field the right side of the field and also to the middle in alternation with Vini Junior and Rodrigo. Real Madrid did well in this game but there is still a lot of improvement needed because currently I do not see them at the level that Barcelona are in when it comes to teamwork.
