It was an easy opponent and an easy win for Real Madrid today. I have high hopes for Real Madrid this season. Xabi Alonso is a good manager, has flexible decisions, and has a lot of faith in the young players. Ancelotti gave Arda Güler almost no opportunity last season; he gave him opportunities and trusted him.

Ancelotti was unaware of Arda Güler's potential, but he wasn't aware of it. We saw how effective Arda Güler can be against WSG Tirol today, even though they're a tough team, it's a clear indication of what Arda Güler can do when he's at his feet.

WSG Tirol were a very weak opponent. They narrowly avoiding relegation in the Austrian league last season. I don't understand why Real Madrid chose them for their only pre-season match. However, this match isn't a benchmark in any way. Since they played in the CWC over the summer, Real Madrid started the new season late and didn't have much time to play friendlies. On Tuesday, they'll play their first league match and they shouldn't have much trouble against Osasuna.
Rodrygo is rumored to be on his way out but today he came on as a substitute and scored a goal. Real Madrid's midfield looks weak to me. They can't play an entire season with just Ceballos, Tchouameni and Arda. They definitely need to make a transfer in the midfield.
