- Real Madrid made it five wins from five in LaLiga and stayed top with a comfortable 2-0 victory at the Bernabéu.
- Éder Militão opened the scoring with a long-range effort before Kylian Mbappé sealed the result from outside the box.
- Mbappé’s league tally rose to five, continuing a prolific start after his midweek Champions League brace against Marseille.
- Xabi Alonso deployed a 4-4-2/4-2-4 shape with Gonzalo García starting alongside Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior restored to the XI, and Franco Mastantuono keeping his place on the right.
- Late cameos for Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga marked their first appearances of the season as Madrid navigated absences for Trent Alexander-Arnold, Antonio Rüdiger and suspended Dean Huijsen.
