Although, the result of that game did not turn out as we mostly expected but it wasn't that bad to mount heavy criticism on Real Madrid. If you looked at the stats of that match, Real Madrid had about five shots on target which wasn't a bad attempt but the defence proved to be too solid that couldn't be easily penetrated. With about seven off target shots and seventy percent possessions, Real Madrid absolutely dominated the game by far but were just unlucky for not getting multiple goals as expected. Alonso should realise his mistakes and make corrections to his squad since it's evident that some pairs don't normally produce positive results.
Before the starting of this match I was expecting something like this, because the way the two teams formed last season, I quite understand Real Madrid struggle hard last season but unfortunately it doesn't work out well for them throughout the end of the season and also watching their pre-season matches I was still not convinced to see them in a better form when the season start. They had their first match against Osasuna which was quite impressive but the result I was not surprised because the way also Osasuna played last season that why I did underestimate them because they make it hard for top teams when the meet. This match will be a very big lesson for Alonso to learn because there are other tough teams ahead.
