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 feel Real Madrid fans are just being ungrateful because the kind of performance Mbappe gave them and the goals he has been scoring since he came why would they be blaming him for lack of trophies as if it is his fault, he played his part well even when other attackers are struggling he did everything to score as many as he can but the defense has really been in bad shape ever since and that's why they have been conceding too much but the fans are not seeing that.
Of course Xabi Alonso needs time to adapt to the new league and the team need also needs to adapt to the new system so things will not be perfect for them for now. Barcelona on the other hand have been with this coach for a while that's why their performance is top notch. Real Madrid just need to keep winning matches and improve gradually so Barcelona won't be far away with points.
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.
Exactly, they all need to contribute to succeed, especially Vinicius he has really dropped in performance ever since the Ballon D'or saga. He needs to wake up and help Mbappe lift the team to glory because his contribution has been very poor lately.
