The Frenchman signs the decisive penalty at Bernabeu against Osasuna, which is worth the first 3 points of the blancos.
A penalty of Kylian Mbappé is sufficient for Xabi Alonso to start his first liga as a coach with a victory. Madrid beat Alessi Lisci’s Osasuna 1-0, who defended himself well and fell only for a naivety of his defender, Juan Cruz, who at the beginning of the second half spread Mbappé in the area. In the Madrid Rodrygo, an impact left on the bench, Vinicius not inspired and replaced, great character of Huijsen and celebrated debut of 2007 Argentine Mastantuono.
the choices
–
Xabi Alonso is without Bellingham, operated on the shoulder, and sends 3 of his 4 purchases on the field, all in defense: Alexander-Arnold, Huijsen and Carreras. For the rest everything expected: Tchouameni in front of the defense, Brahim, Valverde, Arda Guler and Vinicius behind Mbappé. Lisci returns to Liga after 3 years and chooses continuity: defense at 3 and a single new face, Rosier.
boredom
–
The first half flew away on a decidedly thick boredom of boredom. Osasuna in defense, Madrid with 78% of possession but unable to create a great opportunity from the net, showing himself dangerous only with three shots from a sidereal distance of his plants: two of the brazen Huijsen and one of Militao. For the rest bad Vinicius, without sparks his companions and the team of Pamplona relatively quiet.
the usual Kylian
–
Things changed at the beginning of the second half when Juan Cruz unfortunately decided to intervene with an out -of -measure slip on Kylian Mbappé by sending him on the spot. The French, one of the most living of his in the first part and Pichichi in Liga 24-25, has displaced Sergio Herrera by scoring the first goal of the Xabi Alonso era (51 ‘). Not obvious huh? Madrid had made the wrongs of the Utlimi 4 penalties pulled against Osasuna.
“Franco, Franco”
–
The bottom surface started singing ‘Franco! Franco! ‘ Greeting the entry into the field of Mastantuono, 18 years old Argentine just arrived from River. Carvajal also entered with him, absent in Liga by injury since 9 October. We let you imagine Rodrygo’s face, relegated to the bench. Xabi Alonso sent Gonzalo to the field for Vinicius, another interesting change for meritocracy and hierarchies of the Blanca house, with Mbappé slipped to the left on the ‘wines’ box and the Canterano to do the ‘9’. Gonzalo saved a goal by Budimir, the only occasion of Osasuna who closed in 10 for the questionable expulsion of Breton for a shot in Gonzalo in the 94th minute.
