His game is improving, and this is the kind of teamwork Xabi needs. But despite this win there's a key note for Mbappe he must avoid the offside trap, as it's clearly costing him. Xabi needs to evaluate; Mbappé's pace will be wasted if he consistently caught offside, as he was today when his two goals were wasted.
Real Madrid's play was poorly organized, especially their midfield, which lacked support for the front line, making it clear that Mbappé was struggling.
Mameng Real Madrid managed to win this week, but I see many shortcomings in the Real Madrid team. They've won three consecutive matches by narrow margins, even against weaker teams. Xabi Alonso still has a lot of work to do, and given Real Madrid's current form, I think many still doubt them.
Real Madrid have won their first three matches picking up on points in those two victories from no so fierce-some opponent yet.
Supposed they can get it right with their midfield with a brilliant magical midfielder that can connect and distribute the ball with the forwards much of their struggles they faced in their campaign of last season which is still not giving a different delivery this season.
Real Madrid is a big club with an awe-inspiring reputation that precedes it, a trophies winning club that Xavi Alonso is not unaware of the workload he carries and has to do more than just enough to erase the doubt on his club capable of challenging their strongest rival m, Barcelona.
