This proved to be almost an ideal day for Xabi Alonso's squad, as they overcame their arch-rivals 2-1 during the famous derby to extend their advantage at the summit in La Liga by five points.

Jude Bellingham notched his first domestic strike along with assist this term following a difficult few months healing from shoulder surgery.

The French forward maintained his clinical form when scoring, while the manager's strategy in his inaugural El Clasico on the sidelines proved like a charm.

Yet the Brazilian's situation emerged again once more.

Unhappy with coming off, the Brazilian winger protested while walking directly past his manager before headed down the tunnel, before returning to the substitute area later.

Alonso System Delivers Success for the Midfielder

For a debut Clasico, it was a solid start, given that the majority of Real's previous eight coaches lost their initial La Liga meeting with Barcelona.

After the player-focused method under Ancelotti failed to get results earlier, the new tactical system produced an important victory.

Spanish football analyst noted, His plan was perfect. Real Madrid performed excellently, while Barcelona struggled because of Madrid's tactics.”

“Without the ball, they pushed up for as long as they could, if overcome, they fell back with discipline, everybody even Vinicius.”

The team's shape in two lines spaced by 5-10 meters. The opposition were unable to break through.”

This approach seems positive for Bellingham, who in the past was expected to do everything in midfield and beyond.

Theoretically the young star started wide right, however he was allowed to move centrally and support Mbappe or crash the penalty area.

The analyst stated, Employing the French midfielder in the center, it brings more dynamism and additional options to shut down the channels.”

“That forced them to put Bellingham wide right. Certainly he was instructed to keep an eye on the runs of Mbappe on the ball and found openings, and he found him repeatedly.”

He was told to enter the area and operate on the outskirts of the area, where he poses a threat. He also drifted in to close the inside channels and make Barca's task challenging.”

Conflict Issues Revealed

There's no doubting that Madridistas adore Vinicius, his chant rang out on several occasions by the passionate Madrid fans.

However recently there were various accounts in recent months that Real Madrid would consider selling him if an attractive proposal arrived.

The winger has one year remaining on his deal at the end of the campaign, yet talks over a new deal have not progressed.

The player's reaction when substituted with 20 minutes left suggested tension. After the full-time whistle, he was held back when he moved toward Yamal.

Balague noted, Many will criticize him for good reason, since it displayed disrespect toward his replacement who came on for him.”

However, from a young age, he has existed in a hostile world, and he believes that he faces opposition.”

Such thinking is difficult to shake, particularly since you believe on the verge of the best player, and the organization drives the axis to Mbappe as the star.”

During this campaign he believes that the organization isn't protecting him. Rumors indicate, potentially club-sourced, or not denied by the club, that they wouldn't be unhappy a bid of a quarter-billion euros for his transfer and let him go.”

This affects him, so when he was taken off – fairly, because Vinicius stopped dropping back as expected – in Vinicius' head he questions why always me?.”

It may be challenging to mend relations with the club and him currently.”

Barcelona Style “Falls Apart”

Following victories in all four of previous campaign's matches, the latest display represented Barcelona's unconvincing early form.

Absences have left without the Barcelona coach of key players such as the Brazilian winger, Robert Lewandowski and Olmo, and the tactical setup isn't working without them.

Balague said, The squad seems is a little bit less sharp without the ball, with less desire to win it back, softer in pressing.”

“It's easier to attack them. If the defensive line is not perfect, like on the Mbappe goal because Alejandro Balde failed to step up, the midfield doesn't assist from the attack not challenging the ball-carrier as well as they should.”

The young talent, the main threat earlier, was well contained.

The big names did not perform well. Lamine doesn't feel like he is at his best, possibly because of injury issues
