Yes, Real Madrid ultimately managed to win this match with great difficulty at first. Because in the first half, Real Madrid was unable to score many goals and only managed to score one. But as the second half approached, that's where Real Madrid players began to find very good space and already knew what weaknesses Oviedo had. So after that, Mbappe and Vinicius managed to add goals for Real Madrid. So with this victory, Real Madrid is currently in third place in La Liga and cannot surpass Barcelona, which is currently in second place in the standings. In addition, you are also right that currently Xabi is still in the selection stage, to solidify the choice of which players will be made the main players.

But in my personal opinion, Xabi should move even faster in this selection. Because now the league has started, so if Xabi takes too long to determine which players will be made the main players in Real Madrid, I think it will affect Real Madrid's performance. Because, fundamentally, Xabi certainly won't be able to maximize his strategy if he hasn't decided who his starting lineups will be. Furthermore, if Real Madrid were to face a stronger team than Oviedo, I think they'd struggle a bit. So, keeping that in mind, I think Xabi should make a decision on this matter as soon as possible.
