Mallorca vs Barcelona: Match preview
After the departure of Carlo Ancelotti from the manager's dug-out at the Bernabeu, in steps Xabi Alonso, who won La Liga as a player for Real Madrid in 2012.
The Spaniard, ranked at no.6 in FourFourTwo's list of the best managers in the world right now, even managed Los Blancos' U14 side as he gained his coaching badges before launching a managerial career that flourished at Real Sociedad and took off at Bayer Leverkusen, where he pulled off an unbeaten domestic double in 2023/2024.
Alonso inherits one of the strongest squads in the world at one of the very biggest clubs, but they're looking to bounce back from what was a rare trophy-less season in 2024/2025. What's more, their 4-0 defeat to PSG in the Club World Cup semi-final has raised eyebrows and question marks ahead of the new season.
A new-look defence may take time to bed in, with marquee signing Trent Alexander-Arnold coming in at right back and Dean Huijsen strengthening the centre of defence. They'll also have to cope without Jude Bellingham for a while, after the English star underwent shoulder surgery last month.
Still, Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr lead a fearsome attack, which should have too much for an Osasuna side who finished ninth in La Liga last time out.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Real Madrid 2-0 Osasuna
We're predicting a cool, calm victory and clean sheet for Xabi Alonso's start to managerial life in the Bernabeu dug-out.
