Speaking about the importance of the victory, Xabi Alonso stressed that, “in the long run, this victory will benefit Real Madrid” .

“Professor” Xabi said he “doesn’t feel relieved, because there is still a lot of work to do. Everyone needs to stay calm.”

Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham scored for Real Madrid. Fermin Lopez scored for Barcelona.

Vinicius Junior was outstanding in this match. However, the most notable image was his angry reaction when he was substituted in the 72nd minute.

“I took a lot of positives from the game and from Vinicius. Of course we will talk about that, but I don’t want to lose focus on the important thing, in the context of a great game,” Alonso argued.

The Basque tactician admitted he would deal with the issue directly with Vinicius: “Each player has a different personality, but yes, we will talk.”

This is not the first time Vinicius has been disappointed after being substituted. However, this time it was the most severe reaction, in the context that the Brazilian player and Alonso had previously made peace.

“This is football. A lot has happened in previous Clasicos, and will continue because there is always tension, but for me it is normal. It will happen again, and it is part of the game ,” Alonso said, admitting the tension at the end of the match.

“Don’t overdo it. Just keep calm, that’s all. What happened at the end was just because both sides were too eager. There’s nothing to worry about, as long as it’s just a healthy clash,” he said .

Alonso also mentioned Jude Bellingham with the assist for Mbappe to open the score, and the goal that sealed the 2-1 result.

“Jude is an emotional player, he transmits energy and connects with people. That's why he had a great game . ”
