The best 'show' of this League

No one can doubt Real Madrid's leadership in this league anymore. They play brilliantly, with overwhelming superiority, and, moreover, they put on dazzling displays in their three home matches against Juventus, Barça, and Valencia. The best show of the season.

It's been years since Real Madrid displayed such incredible exuberance. Their superiority almost made Valencia's performance seem grotesque. A club that, with or without Peter Lim , is a team headed for the bottom of the Second Division.

Real Madrid's high-pressing style works wonders with players running into space. It's a shame the second half was a bit of a bore, because they were playing at half speed. The best moment was undoubtedly Carreras ' superb goal, which was somewhat reminiscent, albeit in a small way, of the great Roberto Carlos .

It finally seems that Xabi Alonso is the coach who can put Real Madrid back on the path to success. He dominates matches with breathtaking ease and has brought Bellingham back to form spectacularly.

The Englishman could already be the second great star of the white team after the demon Mbappé . Certainly not Vinicius . Every day the Brazilian's brain cells seem to malfunction. He did nothing, or almost nothing, brilliant in the first half. And to top it all off, he had the audacity and nerve to deny Mbappé a penalty, adding to his record-breaking tally.

In this case, the main culprit is Alonso. He's still afraid of Vini. If you noticed, he benched him alongside Mbappé, as if he were comparing him to the Frenchman in terms of quality, when he's not even a quarter of what he used to be. He should never have let Vini take the penalty, when he's the most mediocre penalty taker we know. He can't score one. Imagine if the score were close and this genius ruined the game.

The Real Madrid hierarchy is largely to blame for Vinicius trying to do whatever he wants. Real Madrid's embarrassing display of not even going to collect Vini's Beach Ball was a global disgrace. It's the crux of the current situation. And on top of that, he's taking advantage of Mbappé's generosity. I consider it a footballing crime.

I also get the impression that someone is paying Mastantuono to play. A dud, lame in his right leg, and incapable of doing anything relevant. You only had to see how Endrick , in just one play, made the Argentinian look ridiculous. And Brahim was in the stands. These are impositions on Xabi Alonso, which he doesn't seem to be able to escape.

Now the best matches have to be watched away from the Bernabéu. To begin with, there's Liverpool, a team in crisis that Real Madrid could worsen.
