Real Madrid 0-0 Rayo Vallecano! Alonso s command has no characteristics, Mbappe s misfire is disappointing

4:40am, 12 November 2025Football

On the basis of Barcelona's victory, Real Madrid lost their way at Rayo Vallecano's home court and only ended up with a goalless draw 0:0, which is really unsatisfactory. There are problems with Xavi Alonso's command, Mbappe's performance, and Bellingham's scheduling in this game. The dissatisfaction of Real Madrid fans is well-founded.

It should be said that Xabi Alonso still used all the main lineup he could in this game. In terms of suppression, Real Madrid also provided certain "data performance". However, the overall grasp of opportunities is really, really bad. This is also the reason why they were not able to score well. Compared to 21 shots, they only had 5 chances to hit the target, resulting in less than one expected goal (xOG < 1). In terms of creating scoring opportunities, Real Madrid is even inferior to Rayo Vallecano (1-2), which is really disappointing.

In addition, in terms of the ratio of dangerous attacks, they only had 7 more times than their opponents, 57-50. It can be seen that it is not an unexpected situation that the goal account cannot be opened. Of course, in this game, Bellingham, Mbappe, Dias, Vinicius and other offensive players are all present, and Guler also completed the dispatch in the midfield. In such a situation, he has not been able to score, which is really disappointing.

Overall, compared to the problem of not scoring goals, Mbappe's difficulty in performing when his opponents are relatively restricted is the fundamental reason for Real Madrid's dilemma. Whether it was in the previous key battles against giants or against opponents with relatively tight defenses like Rayo Vallecano, it seemed that his personal abilities had little room to develop. This is indeed not the Mbappe we know, let alone the self Mbappe wants.

For Xavi Alonso, the overall adjustment was slightly half-measured, and he was not able to better demonstrate his ability in rotation and on-the-spot scheduling. This is also a relatively disappointing point for Real Madrid fans. For example, after the start of the game, it can be seen that Real Madrid has a greater advantage on the wing, coupled with the interceptions in the frontcourt, in fact, they should make full use of this routine to give their opponents three blows. However, after playing for a while, Real Madrid became a little relaxed, and Alonso failed to encourage the team to persist.

Furthermore, Rayo Vallecano's exploits in the penalty area also put Courtois under a bit of pressure, but Alonso did not give a corresponding strategy, causing the opponent to become more and more excited.

In the second half, Real Madrid failed to break the deadlock, and Alonso also failed to make good adjustments. Real Madrid fans were also angry after watching the dull game. Valverde's injury and retirement is even more annoying. I don't know what Real Madrid will do next.
