I’m impressed with Xabi Alonso,s input so far. I can see a better playing style and a gradual build of good team work within the players, I also noticed he is getting a better understanding of how best to utilize his star studded team to the best of their ability. If they fully get an understanding of Xabi’s philosophy and team work they will be an excellent team to watch.

If they fully get an understanding of Xabi’s philosophy and team work they will be an excellent team to watch.

And I don't think I am impressed with Xabi Alonso yet because, from the look of it, I will only be impressed if he wins a trophy, because the teamwork you claim he has worked upon has not seen its effect yet. Because Real Madrid is supposed to be doing better than what they are doing now, it's now as if they are not even getting better, but I expected them to do better at this point, so there is a need to do better, not just acknowledging him for doing nothing.

We know all that the former coaches have done just to make the club better, and now that he has a better squad, I don't know why things are not getting better, because now Xabi Alonso can not even make proper use of the squad.

Rumor has it that Xabi has set a special challenge for Vinicius and Rodrygo to fight for the left wing position. Imao, this will push both players to perform at their best, as every opportunity Xabi gives them must not be wasted. Especially since Xabi is the type of coach who pays attention to statistics, so even the slightest difference can be evaluated by him. Progress will certainly take a long time, but it all comes back to the fans and how patient they can be in waiting for the process to unfold.

We have seen that Xabi Alonso is a skillfull  coach. He is also doing a good job with Real madrid. Although Madrid's performance is still a bit inconstant , we can already see that the team is improving and the bonding between the players is getting stronger. Xabi Alonso has not yet found the perfect  match strategy and formation for Madrid. In the first two matches, we have seen different strategies and formations from Madrid. After Alonso finds a specific match strategy, Madrid's performance will undoubtedly be stronger.

Xabi pays attention to and gives opportunities to every player he has on the team. Having quite a few players with good performance comes with its own advantages and problems for a team. Xabi wants to mold Madrid into a truly strong team in every line. For a team like Madrid, this is certainly not something difficult. However, choosing each player certainly requires careful consideration.

What caught my attention this week was the Elche vs Levante match. Both teams were promoted to the top flight this year and they've performed exceptionally in their last two matches. Levante previously impressed me when they put up a tough fight against Barcelona ​​and Elche managed to steal a point from Atletico Madrid. As we know, both of their opponents are elite teams.
So this week will open with their matches. Let's take a look at the betting odds from the bookmakers.



Elche is the favorite here, and I'm quite confident they can take all three points. However I'm still skeptical about the number of goals in this match. If you look at their BTTS odds, 1.98 is very high, which could indicate that the score could be very close in the end.
Any betting ideas? It would be a shame to miss out.

Real Madrid first match of the 2025/2026 season ended in a narrow victory, securing their first three points with a 1-0 victory, the only goal coming from a penalty taken perfectly by Mbappé. I haven't seen anything special in Real Madrid performance in the Alonso era. Throughout the match, Madrid was more dominant in building attacks through the left sector, but he still doesn't seem able to maximize attacks from the right and center.

Yes but it left a bad taste in my mouth, because Osasuna could have easily scored , so those gains in that way cause controversy, for me They didn't give everything, I expected an extremely fast Madrid, we think they are missing, They are Missing players like Mbappé,faster, I liked the debut of the new players, but they are still missing Something which is the Main Ingredient that Xabi is looking for.

Xabi pays attention to and gives opportunities to every player he has on the team. Having quite a few players with good performance comes with its own advantages and problems for a team. Xabi wants to mold Madrid into a truly strong team in every line. For a team like Madrid, this is certainly not something difficult. However, choosing each player certainly requires careful consideration.

You know what the best thing about Xabi is? He wore the Real Madrid shirt , he worked hard for it, he won alongside the best. He’s one of the coaches I admire most at the moment , which is why he’s capable of offering different options to his players In fact, I think that sometimes he would like to come in and play in a match but he can’t He’s a Real Madrid fan at heart, which is why he keeps the team going by giving all the opportunities to all his players because he knows that they’re all important.

[Adbitco]

Atletico for me is a synonym of a third team in La Liga. In last 10 seasons, they won one, been 2nd twice and had been 3rd the rest. There's no another name except Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid when it comes to top three. So, whatever the performance is, there's not really much pressure unless Atletico loses its third place. There have been some changes on Atletico I didn't liked like the departure of Angel Correa, Rodrigo De Paul and Samuel Lino all of whom had a great field presence. The offense of Atletico is still solid with Alexander Sorloth, Julian Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann but they need to work better on defense with the new players.

Yeah, I agree with you here, no much pressure will come to him simply because the club understands the position of the team in the league, if they somehow eventually win the league, they will be happy but if they don't, they already know where they belong. It's trams like Real Madrid and Barcelona that their coaches will be under pressure if they fail to win any trophy after at least 2 seasons. They know their worth and can't settle for less.

When I checked the two teams in their previous games,, I saw that Levante always wins Elche and Elche has not won Levante though I have not seen the games they have played in this year but last year they have not won any. And my prediction is for Levante to win this game and I am going to see to it.
What do you say about this?

Real Madrid’s performance so far this season has been impressive and even though it was against weaker teams we expected them to defeat, but their performance is impressive and the connection between the wingers is incredible, it shows they they will score more goals this season than they did last season. Xavi Alonso is doing a very good job trying to maintain the team’s standard so as to be very competitive this season because they have to compete with Barcelona this season, losing all their matches against them last season was an insult to them.

Barcelona on the other hand looks more comfortable this season because they also added some players in their squad, therefore, we should be expecting a very competitive Laliga season because even Atletico Madrid  and other teams are also ready to compete.

Atletico Madrid needs to make changes to compete for third place by the end of the season, and letting the previous two matches play out will make it difficult for them to perform consistently.
Sometimes teams don't start the season smoothly, and they'll constantly try to fix any shortcomings, and that's often the case with Atletico Madrid.
While I'm confident they can reach the top three by the end of the season, the team's weaknesses need to be addressed immediately by the coach, because if it continues it will make it difficult for them to catch up to the big three position..

Last year, in my opinion, he managed to establish himself well as a third wheel, even having some good matches against Real Madrid and Barcelona. He's missing that something to make the leap in quality, i can't figure out what. i sense they've really put in the effort, but something's eluding me.

I always tell people to calm down Xabi Alonso is at it , he knows what he's doing if he can revive Bayern Leverkusen to be the Germain Bundesliga champion then he can do it at Real Madrid and the real deal is he's already got what it takes in Real Madrid, struggling with this underdog teams to win is maybe he's trying to pick his first eleven and trying to adapt to the way of the Spanish LA Liga, so I really think Xavi Alonso is the man for the job at real Madrid, I'm also impressed with him so far, I know the season is just started and they still got a long way to go but I can really count on him.

In their last two matches, Real Madrid managed to keep a clean sheet against Osasuna and Real Oviedo. And in these two matches, Real Madrid managed to control the ball well. In the match against Osasuna, Real Madrid managed to gain 71 percent possession in this match. Meanwhile in the match against Real Oviedo, Real Madrid managed to gain 65 percent possession. However in the last match, Real Madrid played exceptionally well despite facing an opponent using a low block defensive 5-4-1 formation. They managed to break through Oviedo's defense and scored three goals. This was also accompanied by pressing tactics and tight marking of the opponents as instructed by Xabi Alonso. So I think Xabi Alonso and the team have developed a good understanding in forming the formation and implementing tactics effectively. And they have successfully delivered a good performance through this collaboration. So I personally also impressed with Xabi Alonso input recently, where they have made a spectacular start to the season. But Real Madrid still have a long way to go. There will be several obstacles that they will have to overcome in order to further prove their performance. If they play neatly it will lead them to the winning of championship.

Barcelona did that calm down game with Xavi Hernandez and it did not go well for them.
I believe that Xabi Alonso is a good coach but not good enough to coach Real Madrid. Madrid will not be a threat to Barcelona for the Spanish Laliga with Alonso as their head coach.
Real Madrid has actually been playing worse than they did last season under Carlo Ancelotti and even if he was going to be replaced they should have gone for a more experienced and capable hands. I wish Xabi Alonso well but I am not convinced with his style of football.

Now, we are also preparing to focus on UCL matches. Where they will also face top clubs from Europe. And Barcelona is quite an interesting match for the clubs they will face.

Chelsea and Paris are the only difficult games for Barcelona. They can even lose those two games, and as long as they get 12 points or so from the other six games, which is just four wins, then they will be fine. If they can't get 12 points out of Frankfurt, Brugge, Olympiacos, Praha, Copenhagen and Newcastle, then they shouldn't be moving forward anyways.

I am sensing that they won't even pass Chelsea and PSG with zero points neither, I bet they are going to do fine. They still do need a proper striker though, Lewandowski is great but he is missing so many games, so they have to replace him with Ferran Torres and Raphinha sometimes, and while those are amazing players, they are not pure strikers, and they need one.

Xabi Alonso as be doing well for Real Madrid and is really ready to achieve trophies for the club this season. Real Madrid have really improved more then last season and there defense is better and ready to face any club this season. Is always hard for them to scored many goals in th pitch because the pattern of xabi is different and I notice he like possessions ball and that is why is making it difficult for the striker to score goals, because they are not attacking the way how Ancelotti is coaching real madrid and I think is better then conced goals, xabi Alonso as played two matches in the league laliga, currently without losing and conceding any goals. They are playing against Mallorca tomorrow let see who will be the favorite to achieve the three point. But madrid will always be the favorite because they have all the key players that will make them win the games.

[Volgastallion]

About Levante, im really surprised by the performance of them, the only problem i see right now is, i dont know how much they can suffer in their heads after losing against Barcelona in the way they lose, is not easy to recover from being a few goals up and losing it all in the last play.

That's right. I'm also starting to be impressed with Real Madrid's current game. They've developed a pattern in both defense and attack, not relying solely on individual skill like the previous coach. Furthermore, what I've liked about coach Xabi during his time at Real Madrid so far is his firmness with every player, ensuring no player is protected or immune to criticism. Xabi Alonso wants to be evaluated solely on performance, and he sends a strong message to each player in this regard.

Xabi understands the abilities of his players, so formation and tactics can be adjusted accordingly. That's Alonso's strength at Madrid his flexibility. So I think Real Madrid this season under Xabi Alonso will make Madrid even better than last season by being able to defend collectively, and the team will be very special in all competitions.

[AYOBA]

Real Madrid’s performance so far this season has been impressive and even though it was against weaker teams we expected them to defeat, but their performance is impressive and the connection between the wingers is incredible, it shows they they will score more goals this season than they did last season. Xavi Alonso is doing a very good job trying to maintain the team’s standard so as to be very competitive this season because they have to compete with Barcelona this season, losing all their matches against them last season was an insult to them.

Honestly, Real Madrid started the season with a very good performance. Even those that said that they didn’t expect good from Real Madrid this season even though they had a new coach were now surprised when they saw their performances. Xabi Alonso is a straightforward coach; he always tries his possible best to make sure his team brings out good outcomes, because everyone knows how hard he worked when he was managing Leverkusen.

Barcelona on the other hand looks more comfortable this season because they also added some players in their squad, therefore, we should be expecting a very competitive Laliga season because even Atletico Madrid  and other teams are also ready to compete.

This season will be an interesting one and also competitive, as almost every team is well prepared by adding players to their teams. Because even the teams that were not in good form in previous seasons are also doing well this season, that’s what will make the La Liga so competitive this season.

What still needs to be improved now is the build-up of attacks, especially Madrid's signature quick counterattacks, which still need to be honed because, judging from their dominance and determination, they are actually quite good, but there are still some gaps that make them less than optimal at certain moments. However, overall, what Xabi is doing now is very good, and we cannot deny that.

Week 3 is just around the corner, where Madrid will host Mallorca at the Bernabeu, which clearly raises expectations for Madrid's final result. They are the favorites, but Mallorca is not an easy opponent when it comes to defense. When facing clubs that are above their level, they will definitely focus on defense, which could frustrate Madrid's players.
However, Madrid's mentality is still strong, and we will wait to see if Madrid can secure three points in this match or if a surprise awaits.
