Before this game I did my research on the last three meetings of both clubs and discovered that Real Madrid have won two and drew one so I was confident of a win or draw today for Madrid I just wasn’t so sure if a win because it is Xabi Alonso’s first game but thank God he was able to record his first win on his first and opening Laliga game tonight. It’s an important three points for the team but a shame Rodrygo didn’t make get minutes today also.
It’s their first match of the season and they were playing from a home side, the Bernabeu, it was very unlikely that they would settle for a draw and not win this game. Barcelona already won their game over the course of the weekend, it was there turn to keep up with the head start and they did, not impressively I would say. Just a single goal to seal 3 points against Osasuna, not impressive with all the squad they featured.
