Real Madrid continued their winning start of the LaLala season 2025-26 when they saw the newly promoted Real Oviedo 3-0 on Sunday.
Kylian Mbappe scored twice to score three goals in the room of two league games under the new coach Xabi Alonso, before Vinicius Junior added shine with the last kick of the match at Estadio Municipal Carlos Tartiere.
Rodrygo and Mbappe were both thwarted early before the latter broke the impasse with eight minutes of the first half.
Oviedo was furious that Aurelien Tchouameni was not punished for a tough challenge at Leander Dendoncker, but Madrid showed no mercy when Arda Guler played in Mbappe for a fresh finish.
The hosts did their best to put Madrid under pressure in the second half, and Kwasi Sibo might have done better with an attempt from the edge of the box in the 81st minute.
That professor quickly turned out to be expensive, with Madrid breaking the other end and mbappe home after he was played by Vinicius.
And Vinicius came into the dying phases, drilling at the end of another clinical movement when the Alonso team made it six points of a possible six.

Data Debrief: Mbappe Magic and Solid Foundations
Mbappe took a while to get going in a Madrid shirt, but then went the best goal season of every player in their first season in the club.
And he continued where he had gone in the past term. The France star has now looted 47 goals in all competitions since the beginning of last season, two more than any other player in Europe’s top five competitions.
With that Stardust at the top, Alonso has focused on guaranteeing a tight defense that provides the basis. Madrid has now held a clean slate for the first time since 2015-16 in their first two games of a Laara-chat season, because they limited Oviedo to opportunities with a combination of 0.55 expected goals, while Los Blancos generated 2.63 xg that went in the other direction.
