Xabi Alonso made a winning start with Real Madrid in LaLiga as Real Madrid edged Osasuna to a 1-0 win at the Santiago Bernabéu. Scorers: Mbappé 51'Real Madrid quickly seized control of possession

As Real Madrid's new manager, Xabi Alonso will soon be exposed to the eccentricities of LaLiga refereeing. One thing's for certain: Alonso won't be afraid to speak out when he feels it is necessary.

Barcelona claimed a 3-0 away win over Real Mallorca at Son Moix on Saturday in their opening league fixture, so the pressure is already on Los Blancos to follow suit. In front of their own fans at the Bernabeu, there is a great chance of them doing so given their record.
