No complacency for Real ahead of Alonso’s first Madrid derby as coach
MADRID: Real Madrid have made a perfect start to the season under Xabi Alonso, but their new coach warned against complacency on Friday ahead of his first Madrid derby in charge of LaLiga’s leaders. Alonso spent five seasons as a player with Real but now takes his team to the Metropolitano stadium to take on Atletico in his latest role with his side in impressive form. Real have won all six league matches, conceding three goals, and hold a two-point advantage over champions Barcelona. “We’ve only played six and got full points, but some games were a real struggle so we can’t get overconfident,” Alonso told reporters ahead of Saturday’s game. “You can’t think that just by stepping onto the pitch you’ll win because of the badge you wear or the squad we have. I believe the more we educate ourselves to come out switched on for any match at any ground, the more games we’ll win. “And if we win a lot of games, if we have that natural activation, we can pick up a lot of points. But we mustn’t relax because a lapse can cost you.” Alonso has faced Atletico as manager when in charge of Bayer Leverkusen — drawing 2-2 in Madrid in 2022 shortly after taking over the German club and losing 2-1 away last season — but going there with Real is a very different prospect. “It’s definitely different going to the Metropolitano with any other club than with Real Madrid,” Alonso said. “Because of the healthy rivalry and I think that’s something beautiful, something that’s been enjoyed for many years, and hopefully we can keep enjoying it tomorrow as well.”
Barcelona lose Raphinha and goalie García to injuries for several weeks
BARCELONA: Barcelona will be without Raphinha and new goalkeeper Joan García for weeks due to injuries. García has started every game since transferring from Espanyol this summer but has hurt the meniscus in his left knee and will require arthroscopic surgery, the defending La Liga champion said on Friday. Barcelona expect García to be sidelined for four to six weeks. Spanish media reports said he was injured while training on Friday. Raphinha will be out for an estimated three weeks after hurting his right hamstring, according to the club. The Brazil forward, who was key to Barcelona winning the league and Copa del Rey last season, appeared to be hurt on Thursday in their 3-1 win at Oviedo. Barcelona visit Real Sociedad in La Liga on Sunday, three days before they host European champion Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League’s second matchday. They visit Real Madrid for the season’s first clasico on Oct.
