His face says it all because the players were just on the pitch running like kids without direction and we can't say they created a lot of chances.
SNAP
But it was known that Barcelona were the favourites, and therefore that they could win the title is a given, this year they have a good chance but let's not forget that there is always Real Madrid in the middle who can do really well even if they haven't started off like a rocket
What happened in Real Madrid's first match week can't be judged in any way. The most important thing is that they won the match. Xabi Alonso still needs time to adapt.

Osasuna played very defensively, making it difficult for Real Madrid's players to find openings. Even when Mbappé scored early in the first half, Osasuna still played defensively, so I understand Real Madrid struggled to score many goals.

And remember, the competition for the La Liga title between Real Madrid and Barcelona is always fierce, so the same will be true this season, and I won't underestimate Real Madrid.

Of course, this is quite infuriating, especially coming from such famous and renowned teams. The coach's face says it all, and i can't imagine how he scolded the players in the locker room. You don't expect games like this from Real Madrid, and they're simply unheard of.

Let's hope to see a better performance in the rest of their matches. We cannot judge Real Madrid performance with one match against Osasuna. Xabi Alonso needs time to understand these players and for the players to understand his own strategy because from my observations, he is not using the same formation with Ancelotti.
