Real Madrid definitely looked a little bit loss. Mbappe addition is still a hard thing to adjust to obviously, they played a whole season with nearly no strikers last year, only Joselu at times but nothing more than that. I think it's clear that we are not going to see Real be this bad for a long time but last night Alaves almost got the tie, they had a few shots after it was 3-2 that could have made it a tie game but they just got unlucky. Real didn't look like they were being as dominant as they were expected to be.
A team like Real Madrid, who could put out a billion dollars worth eleven on the field, shouldn't be having this much close game against a team like Alaves, they should win like 5-0 easily without much trouble. The fact that they had trouble is not a good sign for them and I hope that they could just do better job after this. They need to figure out what's wrong with the team and do better job so that they wouldn't really face it again.
In the last 20 years, Alaves has never beaten Real Madrid. It's almost laughable, because we're talking about many years in which Alaves has not beaten Real Madrid.

That's why in my opinion the result of the game between Real Madrid and Alaves was an acceptable result.
Barcelona 1 - 0 Getafe
I expected Barcelona to score a lot of goals in this game, they were playing at home and against a team in the relegation zone, but even so Barcelona failed to score more than 1 goal. In any case, this victory keeps Barcelona as leaders of La Liga. Barcelona's next game will be against a team that has surprised me this season. If Barcelona is not effective in attack in the next game, then they could lose points.
