Real Madrid first match of the 2025/2026 season ended in a narrow victory, securing their first three points with a 1-0 victory, the only goal coming from a penalty taken perfectly by Mbappé. I haven't seen anything special in Real Madrid performance in the Alonso era. Throughout the match, Madrid was more dominant in building attacks through the left sector, but he still doesn't seem able to maximize attacks from the right and center.
Yes but it left a bad taste in my mouth, because Osasuna could have easily scored , so those gains in that way cause controversy, for me They didn't give everything, I expected an extremely fast Madrid, we think they are missing, They are Missing players like Mbappé,faster, I liked the debut of the new players, but they are still missing Something which is the Main Ingredient that Xabi is looking for.
Xabi pays attention to and gives opportunities to every player he has on the team. Having quite a few players with good performance comes with its own advantages and problems for a team. Xabi wants to mold Madrid into a truly strong team in every line. For a team like Madrid, this is certainly not something difficult. However, choosing each player certainly requires careful consideration.
You know what the best thing about Xabi is? He wore the Real Madrid shirt , he worked hard for it, he won alongside the best. He’s one of the coaches I admire most at the moment , which is why he’s capable of offering different options to his players In fact, I think that sometimes he would like to come in and play in a match but he can’t He’s a Real Madrid fan at heart, which is why he keeps the team going by giving all the opportunities to all his players because he knows that they’re all important.
