Real Madrid opened the new season with a victory. The goal came a little late, but Xabi Alanso still won on his debut. Despite being top scorer last season, Mbappe was criticized for his lack of trophies. Real Madrid scored with a penalty from Mbappe, but there were no other goals in the match. Without the penalty, they might not have scored, as they were under attack and pressure, but Osassuna defended well.
I know that Real Madrid is under transition and just getting settled with the new coach, but if they intend to really compete with Barcelona this season, they really need to improve their game because with the way the current Barcelona team is playing, scoring one goal in a game would be a disappointment to them; that is how good they are.
Other players in the team need to wake up and up their game. It cannot only be Mbappe this season; his individual performance will not be enough to help them lift the La Liga.
Real Madrid attack is still lacking behind, they need to do more in that area to create more threats and utilize chances. While Mbappe got on the scoresheet, he should have scored more if his short were more powerful.
The Real Madrid defense was really better and Eder Militao and Dean Huijsen did well even in improving their attacking prowess with fine shots in the first half. The attack still lacks the rhyme to be more deadly looking at the game tonight.
