Real Madrid 0 Vs Osasuna 0 HT
Real Madrid is still playing out a goalless draw in the first half even after dominating every department except finding the back of the net. The squad is good and they have total control but Sergio Herrera is doing his job by keeping out Real Madrid from scoring. Let's see how the second half will be.
The second half is now underway, and I expect something different from the first half, especially in terms of Madrid's attacking quality and finishing.
What was done in the first half was decent, but they failed to capitalize on the momentum they created, resulting in opportunities being wasted.
On the other hand, for this first match, Xabi also seems to want to try some new things, including the positioning of the players, as Arda is currently placed as an attacking midfielder, which is usually his position as a winger, and Brahim is starting as a winger.
The new defensive trio was fielded in this match, and I have high hopes for them.
In the second half, there are still some options to explore, especially since players like Garcia and Rodrygo are still in the lineup, which could be a good option if Madrid's progress remains stalled. Mastantuono is also still a possibility to make his debut in this match.
