"First for them, then for the team. We need them. They're top players, and for the upcoming season, we need everyone. Now we'll have more options. It's great that we have so many opportunities. If I didn't make decisions, I wouldn't be here. The more I make the right ones, the better we'll do. The season is very long; we've played five La Liga games, and six in the Champions League. We need to have these options."
"Franco [Mastantuno] was also angry. It happens to everyone. I'm happy with Vini and Franco's game. We needed to change them because the season is very long."
"It was a convincing victory. The team played with seriousness, stability, and composure."
Real Madrid defeated Espanyol 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu with goals from Eder Militao and Kylian Mbappe, marking five wins from five in LaLiga for Xabi Alonso. Vinicius Junior left the pitch visibly angry after being substituted in the 77th minute despite providing an assist for Mbappe's goal. Alonso defended the substitution and noted that emotional reactions occur, mentioning Franco Mastantuno's similar frustration and stressing the need for rotation because the season is long. Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga returned from injury off the bench, increasing squad options. The team extended an eight-match league winning run and displayed seriousness, stability, and composure.
