I was surprised when I read it for a moment, wondering which one was correct. He also wrote xavi, not in capital letters. Anyway, Real Madrid is likely to start with three points, like Barcelona. Xabi Alanso doesn't want to drop points from the first leg. I think Xabi Alanso will be more successful than Ancelotti, but that doesn't mean the title is guaranteed. It's a long time coming, and injuries will be crucial along the way.
Real Madrid's team this time is quite strong. Especially the defense has been strengthened by Alonso. Last season we saw Madrid's shaky defense. Real Madrid lost every match against Barcelona by a big margin. However, if Mabappe or Vini get injured, then Madrid will definitely face big problems. Hopefully that will not happen. Unless Real Madrid is very unlucky. Madrid has a strong squad. Alonso is also a very talented coach. I am waiting to see Madrid's success in the Alonso era. But so far we have seen that the Madrid squad is not completely stable. Even then, Madrid will start this season by getting 3 points against Osasuna.
