Xabi Alonso will look to lead Real Madrid to victory in their first away game of the season against Real Oviedo.
Real Madrid kicked off their 2025–26 La Liga campaign with a 1–0 win over Osasuna thanks to a successful penalty from Kylian Mbappé. Although the performance at the Santiago Bernabéu slightly underwhelmed, it still delivered three points.
Los Blancos will hope to secure a more dominant win on Sunday at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere. The likes of Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior should have no trouble finding the back of the net against the newly promoted side, even without Rodrygo pitching in should Alonso opt to overlook the winger yet again.
The Brazilian will make the trip to Oviedo, though, along with Antonio Rüdiger, who is now back available from suspension. Real Madrid will only be without the injured Jude Bellingham, Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga and Endrick.
Here’s what Real Madrid’s XI could look like against Real Oviedo on Aug 24.
