Madrid managed to secure the win, but Xabi may have some notes to address and improve in the next match, especially regarding the finishing aspect, as with so many chances created, Madrid should have been more comfortable winning against Mallorca by a few extra goals.
Next, Madrid will face Sociedad, who haven't had good results in their first 3 matches. Madrid will still be the favorites.
It was not a so good outcome in the scoreline but winning become all that matters in the game and Real Madrid changed the game and scored 2 goals before the half time and held it till the end of the game. Xabi Alonso is still experimenting with the players he is yet to stick to a particular tactics and formation which is one of the things that are affecting their goal scoring, he should be able to address it soon so that in their next three matches they will bag 9 points.
