However, the Real Madrid built by Xabi surprised many people, bringing specific results that made President Florentino Perez more than satisfied: winning all 7 matches since the beginning of the season, with 6 in La Liga and 1 in the Champions League.

Most recently, Real Madrid crushed Levante 4-1, firmly building the top spot with 18 points, 5 points more than their rival Barca (played 1 match less). This was the match that Xabi let Vinicius start from the beginning and the Brazilian striker was very good, opening the score for Real Madrid (28') with a beautiful shot.

Mastantuono doubled the gap 10 minutes later, marking the first goal for the Vultures, before the familiar name: Kylian Mbappe scored twice on the scoreboard in the 64th minute (penalty) and 68th minute.

Despite scoring a double, after the match Mbappe is said to have told Xabi Alonso: " Vinicius played the best ."

Xabi Alonso was delighted with his team's victory, in a match in which he changed the system, Real Madrid played with 3 central defenders. However, he warned all opponents to be wary: " This is just the beginning ."

The Real Madrid captain said: “ We have been working for 51 days since the FIFA Club World Cup and the team is still in the process of being built. There is still a long way to go.

Real Madrid still have a lot to improve and the team can do better. Even today's game. We are on the right track, from the result to the way we play. This is just the beginning. We want to play even better ."

Striker Vinicius believes the secret to Real Madrid's strong start to the season is " good defense, unity and team spirit ". He declared: " If we continue to play like this, we can have a very successful season".

Real Madrid's strength will be truly tested in the next match - the Madrid derby, with an away match at Atletico's home ground at 9:15 p.m. on September 27.
