3 reasons why Real Madrid will win LaLiga this season
By Sudhir Salvi
Real Madrid got off to a flying start in LaLiga on matchday one as they thumped Deportivo Alaves by a 4-1 margin at the Mendizorroza Stadium.
Los Blancos dominated both halves against Javi Calleja’s side and although they were unable to breach the home side’s defence in the opening half of the game, Real Madrid started the second half with real urgency and took total control of the patch before the hour mark.
Karim Benzema and Nacho Fernandez were teed up by Eden Hazard and Luka Modric respectively, as they scored within quick succession of one another. The Whites extended their advantage to three goals as a brilliant Federico Valverde run was finished off by Benzema for his brace.
A poor back pass by Eder Militao and consequent concession of penalty saw Joselu pour water on Thibaut Courtois’ hopes of a clean sheet, but the match was already in Real Madrid’s bag and Vinicius Junior completed the rout after heading in David Alaba’s cross.
There were numerous positives for Carlo Ancelotti’s men and they are top of the table, at least before the rest of the teams play. With that being said, here is a look at the three reasons why the Whites will win LaLiga this season.
