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.
Yeah, Xabi Alonso has great plans for the club and we would see it eventually but we can agree that Madrid isn't that much of a threat like they were three, four seasons back.
A win is a win but there are some that are very cheap and this one was one of them. Honestly, I thought Madrid would thrash their opponents considering how weak the defense was but it seemed like three goals was enough to pass a message.
