Mbappe managed to score 2 goals, while bringing Real Madrid to a 2-0 lead over Real Betis, Valverde provided an assist in a very beautiful way, another goal was scored through a penalty. Bellingham who was sitting in the stands looked very happy, there is no certainty when he will be able to play again. Leading 2-0 is enough to secure 3 points, Ancelotti seems to be telling his players to play more defensively, because the match time is also not long. Most likely Real Betis will not be able to make a surprise, so that the match becomes a draw. Ancelotti seems to have rotated players, pulling out Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos. In my opinion, Real Madrid no longer need to force to score many goals, they only need to maintain their advantage.
It is unlikely that Betis seriously expected to come back, they were happy with the score 0-2, as it seems to me, in that sense, losing points in the game against Real is not a surprise at all.
In fact, despite Real's huge advantage in statistical terms, it cannot be said that this was an easy game, Real continues to have problems with teams that focus on defense. I hope that Ancelotti will be able to solve this problem by the game with Atletico.
Comparing Madrid's performance in this match with previous matches, it can be said that Madrid's performance has improved. Ancelotti changed his format and match strategy in this match. Madrid played in 4-2-3-1 formation in previous matches but in this match Madrid played in 4-3-3 formation. And we have seen the improvement of Madrid's performance in this formation. Especially in the second half, Mbappe performed well and scored two goals.
Real Betis wanted to share the points in the match. But they could not succeed. In the first half we saw quite good performances from both the teams. Real Betis' defenders also played well. But Betis' defense broke down in the second half as Madrid stepped up their attack. The match would have been more competitive if Real Betis' attacking players had performed better. But the performances of Betis' forward lineup were poor.
However, despite performing erratically from the first match of the season, we can see the improvement of Madrid's performance gradually. If this consistency can be maintained, Madrid will be able to occupy the top spot in the table. However, Barcelona's overall performance has been very consistent so far. Barcelona is ahead of Madrid by 4 points with 4 consecutive wins.
