Real start as they mean to go on

Real Madrid’s performance in their opening Champions League group match left no one in any doubt about their capabilities and shortcomings. A 5-2 win at FC Zurich showed why many think the latest batch of Galácticos will become Champions of Europe, whilst perhaps just as many took it as evidence as why they will not win the Champions League. The balance between defence and attack was more than adequate against inferior opposition, but tougher tasks lay ahead.
Manuel Pellegrini’s outfit opened their La Liga campaign with a 3-2 home win over Deportivo, which helped develop the belief that Real will be nearly as much associated with conceding goals this season as scoring them. An impressive 3-0 win at Espanyol followed and both manager and chairman will be as happy with the clean sheet as they were with the trio of goals. Florentino Pérez is acutely aware of the criticism of his Galácticos policy, so defensive solidity is crucial.
The new-look Real line-up will take some time to gel and according to the football betting odds, spectacular results should not be expected instantly. A good defensive unit takes longer to build than the offensive part of the team, so goals will be leaked early on. Nonetheless, the suspicion remains that Real are more intent on attack than defence, so we might get used to highscoring games at the Bernabéu.
