Real Madrid started their new La Liga campaign with authority, defeating newly promoted Real Oviedo by three goals to zero. The victory highlighted not only their attacking strength but also the tactical discipline introduced by new head coach Xabi Alonso. 

Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring midway through the first half with a composed finish, silencing the home crowd and lifting Madrid’s confidence. The French superstar doubled the lead in the second half, punishing a defensive error and leaving Oviedo’s goalkeeper with no chance.

The match was sealed in stoppage time when Vinícius Júnior, introduced from the bench as part of Alonso’s rotation strategy, delivered the third goal. His late strike underlined the depth of the squad and the impact Madrid can generate from substitutions.

Beyond the scoreline, the evening marked a celebration of youth and experience. Eighteen-year-old Franco Mastantuono impressed in his first official start, showing creativity and composure. Rising talents Arda Güler and Dean Huijsen also played key roles, contributing to a team whose average age is just over twenty-five years.

Tactically, Alonso struck a balance between defensive security and attacking flair. The back line remained compact while the midfield dictated transitions with precision. Oviedo, full of energy in their La Liga return, simply could not cope with Madrid’s intensity and technical superiority.

Away from the pitch, the club continues to deal with transfer speculation. Dani Ceballos has drawn interest from Champions League contenders, while contract renewal talks for Vinícius Júnior are progressing. These decisions will shape the depth and stability of the squad in the coming months.

This opening victory not only secured three valuable points but also sent a message: Real Madrid, driven by new leadership and a new generation, are fully committed to chasing domestic and European glory.
