This was beyond many people's predictions. Real Madrid, playing at home, were heavily favored and believed to win the match easily. However, it turned out not to be the case. Real Madrid only managed to win by a single goal, despite Osasuna's very defensive tactics. I think Xabi Alonso should have made many changes to the team's play and created more chances, but in reality, he didn't.
So, even though Real Madrid won the match, their overall performance was still quite disappointing.
It was a bit disappointing and I don't think they are yet capable of truly doing what they can do. If the boys work hard they can do really great things. They have a lot of great players in the squad, much superior to Barcelona, but they can't express their football.
This was exactly what I was thinking yesterday, when Madrid was finding it difficult to net the post before the penalty came in. However, I believe that with time, they will improve their performance and tighten the bond. I don't see why they find it difficult to win Osasuna yesterday. I am happy that Madrid was able to get full points yesterday.
