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.
I can't rate Madrid now because they are suppose to be a dominating force in la Liga but for now they need to face a more stronger team and show this same performance and even more before I can say they did pretty well. As of last game against Osasuna I don't think Mbappe was playing like someone who have gotten used to the league and if not for the penalty which I believe many of the fans wasn't pleased about, I don't think they would have gotten a win and this game was like against a lower division team and the goals should have been more than 3 goals.
Madrid attack isn't as clinical as I expected, more work need to be done and if they feel they can beat the champions with this leg I'm seeing I think Barcelona will beat them again home and away even on a neutral ground.
