Real Madrid dominated their second league match with a confident 3–0 victory over Oviedo, thanks to a brace from Kylian Mbappé and a late goal by Vinícius Júnior. It was a performance filled with flair and control, as Xabi Alonso wasted no time stamping his identity on the squad.
The game also saw Trent Alexander-Arnold make an appearance off the bench, while veteran Dani Carvajal started at right back. Rodrygo, who has been surrounded by transfer rumors all summer — with links to Arsenal, Liverpool, and Man City — started despite the buzz.

Real Madrid vs Oviedo 2025 stats back up what fans saw: total dominance.
🧠 Quick Take
Yes, Oviedo are newly promoted, but Real Madrid’s composure and control were levels above. While Barcelona needed a comeback to scrape past a similar opponent, Madrid coasted through — no panic, no sloppiness.
With Mbappé sharp, Vinícius back, and Trent getting minutes, the depth of the squad is scary. Transfer rumors around Rodrygo continue, but Alonso looks focused on building something ruthless.
