Xabi Alonso has expanded the perfect start to the season with the Spanish football record champion Real Madrid.
The “royal” celebrated the fifth victory with their new coach on the fifth matchday of La Liga 2-0 (1-0) against the previous surprise team Espanyol Barcelona.
Militao and Mbappé meet for real
Four days after the 2-1 Champions League-start against Olympique Marseille Real did little offensive at first, only a long -range shot by Eder Militao brought the lead (22nd). After that, the campaign leaders’ actions became more determined, but top -class opportunities hardly jumped out, Kylian Mbappé missed the best before the break (45.+3). The Frenchman made the decision right after the restart with his seventh gate in the sixth competitive game (47th).
Bellingham celebrates comeback Shoulder injury
In addition to national player Antonio Rüdiger, Alonso was also missing the Englishman Trent Alexander-Arnold, who also suffered a thigh injury against Marseille. Jude Bellingham sat on the bench after his shoulder injury as on Tuesday. In the 89th minute, the ex-Dortmund was substituted under thunderous applause from real fans for his first minutes of the season.
