LaLiga: Alonso benches Vinicius Jr and Alexander-Arnold for Real Madrid vs Oviedo

Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso made a bold decision by benching Vinicius Jr and Alexander-Arnold for their LaLiga match against Oviedo. Instead, Franco Mastantuono and Antonio Rüdiger were given starting roles.

The lineup also saw Rodrygo and Kylian Mbappé in the attack. This decision comes after Real Madrid's victory over Osasuna in their opening game.

The confirmed lineup for Real Madrid included Courtois, Carvajal, Rüdiger, Huijsen, Carreras, Tchouaméni, Valverde, Güler, Mastantuono, Rodrygo, and Mbappé. Oviedo's starting XI was yet to be confirmed.

Alonso's tactical choices will be closely watched as Real Madrid aims to continue their winning streak in LaLiga.
