Kylian Mbappé spared Xabi Alonso from a disappointing LaLiga debut as Real Madrid coach by scoring the only goal in a 1-0 home win over Osasuna on Tuesday. The French forward converted a penalty in the 51st minute after being brought down in the box by Juan Cruz.

Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso said Trent Alexander-Arnold and the club's other new signings had performed well in their LaLiga opener on Tuesday and did not seem to be weighed down by the pressure of playing in front of an expectant home crowd.

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.
