00:00This season, we're expecting them to play a back five with Bretonnis and Rozier trying to get forward as much as they can.
00:06Torrehoed in the midfield together, a former Real Madrid player.
00:09Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Hoyssen and Alvaro Carreras.
00:15And Emilio Tau is also back in defence.
00:17At the Estadio Bernabeu.
00:20Real Madrid kick off their new season.
00:22New coach, new players, but the same old expectation, said Alexander-Arnold and Carreras both play within the 18-yard lines.
00:37Hussain loses patience, chance is one.
00:41Not the best in handling from Sergio Herrera.
00:44One-distant shot and the game had to be held on its way by the goalkeeper.
00:51And it's again the shot coming in from a central defender this time.
00:55There is that shot again.
00:59Dip on the goalkeeper again, it bounces in front, but it's a comfortable save.
01:05And Arnold, too.
01:07Brain deals.
01:10Alverde makes it darted now over the head of Vinicius Jr.
01:12Pauls to Mbappe, Mbappe looks for the gap, he thought he'd found it.
01:18Well, that making a run into the box and the ball being played.
01:22Good little flick on, causes confusion.
01:25Players back it up.
01:26Mbappe couldn't quite bend it into the far corner.
01:32Wasn't that far away.
01:36Can they turn that possession into goals?
01:39Alexander-Arnold over everybody.
01:40It falls kindly for Vinicius Jr.
01:43Vinicius Jr.
01:44Takes on three defenders and a goalkeeper.
01:48Just not working for him yet.
01:54Just...
01:55It's minutes out on the arc.
01:58Great touch for Mbappe.
02:00And then set up...
02:02Herrera taking no risks, just pumps it forward.
02:07Putting pressure on the Real Madrid defence as a gap fallen in there.
02:10And that was the danger last season so often for Real Madrid.
02:16Green dance.
02:18Mbappe.
02:19Sides through the defence.
02:20Carreras, a little bit of thinking tight.
02:22Hands it to the far post.
02:24And that's what he wants to get out for him.
02:27Kylian Mbappe.
02:33He actually got his foot, didn't he?
02:34He might have just touched the ball.
02:38There's that cross into the box.
02:40Mbappe did really well to get there.
02:41Maybe he could have left it for Alexander-Arnold.
02:43Mbappe did really well to get there.
02:44He could have left it for him.
02:45He could have left it for him.
02:46He could have left it for him.
02:47He could have left it for him.
02:49Well, this is the 44th visit of Osasuna to the home of Real Madrid.
02:54In the previous 43, they've only been successful twice.
02:58Two wins in all of the year since the 1950s.
03:03Brahim Diaz.
03:05Mbappe makes an angle.
03:07Bappe goes on the outside.
03:14Good run.
03:15Leaves a defender on the ground.
03:16Was he left on the ground?
03:18The witnesses behind the goal.
03:19Draw it to the referee's attention.
03:26Llan Cruz went diving in.
03:32He dives in because he's trying to block the cross.
03:34It's his trailing leg there that catches.
03:35Clearly takes out Mbappe, doesn't he?
03:38It's clever from Mbappe.
03:41There isn't that much contact, but there's enough.
03:44It's not going to be changed.
03:45There's the contact.
03:46Mbappe knew it was coming.
03:51He can argue as much as he like.
03:52It's a penalty.
03:57Mbappe opens the round and run a count for the season.
04:03Penalty won.
04:04Penalty converted by Kylian Mbappe.
04:08Just what was needed for the Real Madrid.
04:19That's always the worry.
04:22You've defended deeply.
04:23You've made sure there's no spaces in between your players.
04:27And suddenly you get a couple of attacks.
04:29You leave yourself slightly open.
04:30And Mbappe wins the penalty and takes it with great composure.
04:39Well, he's now bristling with confidence, isn't he?
04:42Mbappe, brilliant.
04:50Passed the first man.
04:51Drives into the area.
04:52Plays it to.
04:54Vinicius Jr.
04:55Came off the midriff of Boyomo.
05:03Vinicius Jr.
05:04Canales.
05:05Oh, some shot that from Adeguulat.
05:12Half time.
05:14In and around the box.
05:15Not thinking about another pass.
05:16He's just trying to hit it with power.
05:19Once a sooner on this occasion.
05:20Not closing the ball down.
05:23Nehoma, the centre-half, is the closest player to him.
05:25He's always just rising.
05:32Tottenham.
05:34Madrid losing players.
05:36This is a test of this new-look defence.
05:38Alexander-Arnold has lost his man.
05:40Ooh.
05:41Breton has crept in on the blind side of Trent.
05:44Alexander-Arnold.
05:46Got 10 to stick into his task.
05:51No foul.
05:52Valverde.
05:53Vinicius Jr.
05:54Clips it in.
05:56Mazda-To-Arnold goes driving in there.
06:00I think there's a brilliant piece of defending from Toro here.
06:05Taking short to Goulet.
06:11Tio-Arnold.
06:13Chased down by Boyomo.
06:14Yet another Real Madrid corner.
06:21Mazda-To-Arnold follows the line of the six.
06:24It's very close from Shuaimeni.
06:29Four goals in six matches.
06:3321-year-old who was one of the stars of the B-team last year.
06:36And Gonzalo takes the place of Vinicius Jr.
06:43Camera catching Rodrigo, who is very much in the shadows.
06:47Hendrik up there as well, but Hendrik injured, his fellow countryman, Rodrigo.
06:55And it's down to Anno with a cross.
07:02And it's down to Anno with a cross.
07:06Goulet.
07:06That is Gonzalo chasing down Rossi.
07:20Yeah.
07:20Does well.
07:23Little shuffle.
07:24Makes ground.
07:25Sees the goal.
07:26Is he going for it?
07:27Could this be a dream goal?
07:28No, it's a brilliant, brilliant tackle.
07:30Valverde checking back after he was one of the players that the Officer Suna man had beaten in his foray forward.
07:37As you can hear, the fans' favourite, quite rightly so, Carvajal.
08:05Coming in the foul here, though.
08:09That wasn't a great pass to him by the youngster.
08:12It's been last year, only seven starts, but waiting with seven goals when he came on.
08:18They bring on a strike, a take-off, a defender, all part of the big plan.
08:22Courtois stays there, and it's well, just flipped over the bar.
08:26Boudemir was exceptionally close.
08:31Well, the first header was a really good one, back across the penalty box.
08:35Oh, it jumps early.
08:41Oh, does it come off the defender?
08:43It was an actually good defender, I think it was.
08:46Domzalo back there, wasn't it, doing a defensive job?
08:48The next two they want back from the infirmary, as they say in Spain, Jude Bellingham in September, and maybe Alaba.
08:58The ball is played in, Mastanto out comes alive in the area, and forces the save from the goalkeeper, who had to be part of the late-night wide-awake club.
09:07Good first touch, that's D'Antuono, tries to buy himself that little bit of space to get the left-foot shot away, it's any place he could go, there's the yellow card, Mbappe.
09:20Well, it'll take one for the team, as they say, if it just disrupts the opposition.
09:28Yeah, there's a naughty challenge as well.
09:30There's that first touch, takes him away from the defender, something else on for him, tries to beat the goalkeeper with power at the near post.
09:38Probably, you know, he's got to go in more height if he is going to beat the goalkeeper from there.
09:43Well, first impressions are certainly impressive.
09:50It is Cárdenas.
09:51He's come on and looked very assured on his return to the team.
09:57Just one appearance at the Club World Cup, that was against PSG in the semi-final.
10:03The game's going to be stopped here.
10:08A red card.
10:12Well, the referee flashes the red card in the face of Abel Bretonis.
10:23And clearly it had been brought to his attention.
10:27But the system referee, and they are, I'm going to turn it round.
10:34They need to take him down the tunnel.
10:36The trip north to Oviedo.
10:40Back in the top flight after two decades.
10:44Now, another collision.
10:45Was this one intentional?
10:46Carvajal is floored by Cárdenas.
10:50But the referee saw that one as a more honest coming together.
10:53It was a raised boot.
10:54But Cárdenas wins the ball.
10:56Nothing wrong with that whatsoever.
11:01He can't just suddenly stop.
11:03Neither player can stop.
11:04A victory complete for Real Madrid.
11:10A satisfactory opening night.
11:14Match winner won Kylian Mbappe.
11:16Yeah, he was the best player for Real Madrid in terms of creativity.
11:20He tried to make things happen.
11:22He looked sharp.
11:23I think it was an average performance by Real Madrid.
11:26They've got to do better if they want to catch Barcelona this season.
