Real Madrid is currently enjoying a few days off, due to the international break that has up to 12 international players away from the Madrid squad.

However, at Real Madrid the balance is very positive, since the perfect record at the start of the season is something that has made Xabi Alonso very happy.

"We're obviously better than at the start. In terms of how we feel, the results are important to prove the work ethic and the right path. After the break, the Champions League arrives and we have to keep fine-tuning things. Starting with 9 out of 9 points is good and we're happy," said the man from Tolosa last weekend after beating Mallorca 2-1 at Santiago Bernabéu stadium.

This good work by Real Madrid's footballers has "forced" the Basque coach to give his players time off until next Monday.

Analysis time for Xabi Alonso

However, Xabi Alonso and his coaching staff will use these days to analyze what has happened and plan what's coming, since the schedule will be very demanding for his players.

After the international break, Real Madrid will visit Reale Arena and then host Olympique de Marseille in its debut in the UEFA Champions League.

These two matches are on the coaching staff's radar, as is the Madrid classic against Atlético de Madrid, which already has a date and time, and will be the first "big" clash of the season for Xabi Alonso's side.

Real Madrid will visit Riyadh Air Metropolitano next September 27 (4:15 p.m.), in a match that will be very intense and high voltage, although it will come before its trip to Kazakhstan, where it will face Kairat Almaty.

A decision by Tebas that is appreciated

This is a move by Javier Tebas that is clearly appreciated at the white club, since after facing the red-and-whites, the Merengues will have to make a trip of more than 5,592 mi. (9,000 km).

The adventure at the end of the Old Continent is a tough test that Madridists will have at the start of the season and in which they will have to secure all three points.
