Mbappé Brace Lifts Real Madrid to 3-0 Win at Oviedo

Xabi Alonso’s selection underscored his early‑season blueprint.

Overview

  • Arda Güler created the opener in the 37th minute, finding Kylian Mbappé for a low finish to break the deadlock.
  • Introduced on 63 minutes, Vinícius Júnior won possession to set up Mbappé for the second and then added a stoppage‑time third.
  • Xabi Alonso maintained the approach from Madrid’s opener, with Spanish coverage describing his lineup as an exercise in self‑affirmation.
  • Thibaut Courtois snuffed out an early Oviedo chance and later saw Sibo hit the post before Madrid pulled away.
  • Oviedo goalkeeper Escandell made several stops, including denying Mbappé a hat trick, as Madrid kept a perfect league start through two matches.
