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...
This is definitely a concern, I watched the match between Real Madrid vs Osasuna live and I didn't like Real Madrid's performance either. Maybe they exchanged the ball a lot but what's the point of exchanging the ball if they can't attack well or they can't score goals. Real Madrid players got several chances especially at the beginning of the match Vinicius Junior passed a ball inside the opponent's D box to Mbappe with a great dribble but Mbappe couldn't finish the ball well. But Mbappe should have taken advantage of that chance...
Honestly, that Osasuna game wasn’t great from Madrid, but let’s be real — it’s only the first round. Mbappé missed a sitter, Vinícius tried, and yeah, without the penalty they probably drop points.
But people already crying that “Madrid is finished” are overreacting. Xabi Alonso just landed, give the man some time to settle in. You can’t expect peak chemistry in game one.
Barça smashing in their opener means nothing, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Madrid’s squad is stacked, and once things click, they’ll be scary again.
Just my opinion, but I wouldn’t write Madrid off yet.
