Manager Xabi Alonso praised the team’s ‘complete and very solid performance,’ highlighting Mbappé’s scoring streak and Vinicius Junior’s impactful contribution.

Real Madrid continued their impressive start to the LaLiga season with a dominant 3-0 victory over Real Oviedo at the Carlos Tartiere stadium, prompting high praise from manager Xabi Alonso. The Basque tactician described his team’s display as “a complete and very solid performance,” highlighting the collective effort that secured the comfortable win.
The match marked the first competitive encounter between Real Madrid and Real Oviedo in over two decades, with Los Blancos last facing their opponents in a Copa del Rey tie back in 2002, emerging victorious with a 4-0 scoreline. This recent victory builds upon that historical dominance, showcasing Madrid’s continued strength against Oviedo.
Leading the charge for Real Madrid was Kylian Mbappé, who found the back of the net twice, extending his remarkable scoring streak. The French superstar has now scored in each of his last seven LaLiga games, amassing an impressive total of 12 goals – his longest scoring run in the Spanish top flight. Mbappé’s clinical finishing and relentless attacking play were pivotal in breaking down Oviedo’s defense.
While Mbappé stole the headlines with his brace, Xabi Alonso was keen to emphasize the contribution of Vinicius Junior, who capped off the victory with a goal in second-half stoppage time. Alonso lauded Vinicius’s performance, recognizing his growing maturity and impact on the team. The Brazilian winger’s late goal not only sealed the three points but also served as a testament to his dedication and skill.
The game also provided an opportunity for Real Madrid to showcase their squad depth and tactical flexibility. Alonso made several changes to the starting lineup, demonstrating his trust in the entire team and their ability to perform at a high level. This adaptability will be crucial as the season progresses and Madrid faces increasingly challenging opponents.
Real Oviedo, despite their valiant efforts, struggled to contain Madrid’s attacking prowess. The home side’s defense was consistently tested by the relentless pressure from Mbappé, Vinicius, and the supporting cast. While Oviedo showed glimpses of promise, they ultimately lacked the firepower to trouble Thibaut Courtois in the Madrid goal.
The victory further solidifies Real Madrid’s position at the top of the LaLiga table, sending a clear message to their rivals. With a blend of experienced stars and emerging talents, Alonso’s side appears well-equipped to challenge for the title. The team’s cohesive spirit, tactical discipline, and attacking flair make them a formidable force in Spanish football.
Looking ahead, Real Madrid will be aiming to maintain their winning momentum as they face a series of crucial fixtures in LaLiga and the Champions League. Alonso will undoubtedly demand continued improvement from his players, emphasizing the importance of consistency and attention to detail. The team’s success will hinge on their ability to maintain their current level of performance and adapt to the challenges that lie ahead.
