Real Madrid played at home and only scored 1 goal.
I didn't watch the match live, but watching the replay on YouTube, I saw that after Kylian Mbappé scored from a penalty kick, Xabi Alonso looked dissatisfied.
Of course, the coach was dissatisfied with Real Madrid's poor performance, wasting so many chances.

If Real Madrid continues like this, Barcelona will easily dominate the top of the standings and win the title again this season.

This photo is from that exact moment. If there were a problem between Mbappé and Alonso, they would have put him on the bench and resolved it. The management wouldn't have said anything to Xabi; I know he has full authority over the team. For example, he made his stance on Rodrygo clear. Yesterday, Rodygo was substituted and then didn't come on.

This could be a reflection of the team's poor performance at the time. Even if it hadn't been for the penalty, Real Madrid would have dropped points. They played poor football. I agree with you on this point: if Real Madrid continues like this, Barcelona will easily win the league again. Barcelona is a complete team in every respect. Real Madrid has a star-studded squad, but they haven't yet become a team.

Yesterday I said it on this same thread that it looks Real Madrid can win on paper, but it might not be so, because football is played on the pitch and I’ve watched this Real Madrid team at the club World Cup and pre-season they’ve not had a good performance, the Performance have absolutely been a shambles for them, and the team was struggling to create chances. When you watch Barcelona play there is huge difference between them right now, Osasuna showed a real fight against Real Madrid I was impressed with their performance.

Honestly speaking I’m not impressed with Alonso style of play and formation, I’ve never been a fan of playing 3 at the back and allowing the fullback to go into midfield which I think this is a formation basically meant for teams that are defensive minded and would want to hit a counter and go into a low block, Well they miss Jude Bellingham who I think is their best player, Arda Guler doesn’t fit well into that team he can’t absolutely play the role of Luke Modric and right now the team is still suffering from not replacing Toni Kroos, the way Real Madrid is playing I don’t expect them to win a trophy this season.
