Slow start but they did good stuff.
Real Madrid defeated Deportivo Alaves 4-1 in their opening 2021-2022 LaLiga fixture at the Mendizorroza. They did not score in the first half, but they opened the floodgates in the second, with two goals from Karim Benzema and some stellar individual runs.
This was a highly encouraging first match under Carlo Ancelotti, who likely said something at the break that led to Real Madrid playing with much more confidence and incisiveness in the second half. Real will have tougher challenges, but they did very well to break down a tough Alaves defense on Matchday 1.
