Real Madrid has not faced any strong opponents yet. And Madrid's upcoming opponents are not very strong squads either. So it will not be a very difficult task for Madrid to continue the winning streak. Madrid will play against Mallorca, Real Sociedad and Espanyol respectively in the next 3 matches. Real Sociedad is one of the renowned teams in La Liga, but the team has not been in good shape since the last season. The team has failed to win in two matches this season. Winning against Atletico Madrid and Villarreal will be a big challenge for Madrid.
The fixture gives Xabi Alonso good opportunity and time to adapt with his management in Real Madrid and matches in La Liga but to win La Liga title, Real Madrid must win against many strong opponents in direct matches and in a season. With a quick growth of Barcelona since the last season with Hansi Flick, it's not easy for Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid to take over a title from Barcelona but surely Xabi Alonso was not signed a contract only to help Real Madrid finishing this season as a runner up.
Indeed, if we look at the strength or composition of each position or line of players In the upcoming match, many people think that Real Madrid will easily win. However, in football, anything can happen, so Madrid must remain alert, focused, disciplined, and teamwork is key for Real Madrid to maintain its performance and achieve maximum results in every match. Player rotation is an important strategy to maintain the team's fitness and performance, especially when facing a busy schedule.
With good player resources and quality of performances, both Barcelona and Real Madrid can beat many opponents in La Liga and can dominate this league. The title will likely be decided by their two direct matches in El Clasico and Xabi Alonso must manage to help Real Madrid gaining better results than the last season. With Carlo Ancelotti last season, Real Madrid got terrible head to head results with Barcelona and they will never be able to win La Liga this season if they can not make good improvement.
