After struggling to win their first league game of the weekend on Tuesday against Osasuna, Real Madrid tonight thrashed Oviedo in the club's first away game of the season. I'm actually not surprised because I know the club manager Xabi Alonso is still test-running the squad at his disposal and trying to find out which players should be regular starters and the positions that best suits them.
As a Real Madrid fan, it was exciting again to see my darling club win convincingly but even more entertaining to see that my favorite player Kylian Mbappe is still firing from all cylinders. Three league goals already from current European boot winner who still appears very hungry for more goalscoring awards in the new campaign.
Real Madrid won a great victory with a brace from Mbappe and this is their second win of the season. Real Madrid played well in the match, although the performance of the opposing team was unfamiliar to them, they showed great performance against them. This time, the strategy that Alonso used in the match mostly worked. Rodrygo, who has not been in form since last season, did well in this match, although he did not score a goal but his performance was good overall. Alonso will continue to test and evaluate the players through big matches and it is hoped that he will continue to succeed in stages. Vinícius was not seen in the match from the beginning, but he started well in the second half and scored a goal. Oviedo tried to play offensively but Real Madrid's defense seemed strong enough, they only managed three shots on target. The goal difference should have been higher, but I am satisfied with Real Madrid
's overall performance.
