It was practically an ideal day for Xabi Alonso's squad, as they overcame Barcelona by a 2-1 scoreline during the famous derby and extend their advantage at the top of La Liga with a five-point cushion.

Bellingham notched his inaugural goal in the league and setup this campaign following a difficult few months healing from a shoulder operation.

The French forward continued his lethal performance when scoring, and the coach's game plan in his first Clasico as coach proved brilliantly.

But then the Vinicius Junior question emerged again yet again.

Dissatisfied with his substitution, the Brazilian winger ranted while walking right by his manager before headed off the pitch, then reappearing on the sidelines later.

Alonso System Gets Success for Jude Bellingham

In his first derby, this wasn't a bad one, considering the majority of Madrid's recent managers were defeated in their initial league encounter with Barcelona.

Following the laissez-faire method from the previous coach failed to get results in the previous campaign, his structured approach delivered a significant outcome.

A specialist commented, “He got it spot on. Madrid were impressive, and Barcelona were off-color because of the home team's approach.”

Defensively, they applied pressure as much as possible, and when bypassed, they fell back in a structured manner, all players even Vinicius.”

“They defended in two layers separated by a short distance. The opposition were unable to break through.”

The tactical change appears to be good news for Jude, as he previously was essentially asked to do everything in midfield and additional duties.

On paper Bellingham played on the right, but in practice he had the freedom to come inside and assist the attack or get into scoring positions.

The analyst stated, With Eduardo Camavinga in the middle, it brings more dynamism and more ways to close down the passing lanes.”

As a result the team to position Bellingham on the right-hand side. I'm sure he would have been asked to keep an eye on the runs of Mbappe on the ball and had space, and he found him a few times.”

“He was asked to move into the penalty area and be around just outside the box, where he poses a threat. Additionally, he moved centrally to block central spaces and cause Barcelona's life challenging.”

Strained Relations Revealed

There's no doubting that supporters love Vinicius, calls for him was chanted on several occasions by the passionate Madrid fans.

Yet there have been various accounts in recent months that the club might think about letting him leave should a suitable bid was made.

The winger will have one year remaining on his deal when this term concludes, yet talks over a new deal are at a standstill.

The player's reaction when substituted late in the game spoke of strained relations. Post-game, he had to be restrained when he moved toward the Barcelona player.

The expert noted, “Everyone will have a go at him for good reason, as it demonstrated poor sportsmanship for Rodrygo who came on for him.”

Yet, growing up, his life has been amid adversity, and he feels that the world is hostile.”

This mindset is difficult to shake, notably when you consider yourself on the verge of number one in the world, and the organization drives the axis in favor of Mbappe as the star.”

Recently he has perceived that the club isn't protecting him. Reports suggest, perhaps from within, or not denied by the club, that they would be open a bid of €250 million for him and allow him to leave.”

This affects him, and when the coach substituted him – justifiably, because Vinicius stopped dropping back as required – in Vinicius' head he says why single me out?’.”

Building bridges will be tough to reconcile among the parties and Vinicius currently.”

Their System “Falls Apart”

After winning each of the previous campaign's derbies, Sunday's performance highlighted Barcelona's unconvincing start to the campaign.

Fitness issues have left without the Barcelona coach of key players including the Brazilian winger, the striker plus others, and the approach is not effective in their absence.

The expert stated, “It's like the whole team are slightly off when not in possession, not as eager to regain possession, less aggressive in pressing.”

Opponents find it simpler to attack them. If the defensive line is flawed, as it wasn't the Mbappe goal since the defender kept him onside, they are not helped by the midfield and forwards failing to press those on the ball as expected.”

Lamine Yamal, who troubled Madrid of Real last season, was kept largely in check.

“Their stars did not perform well. The youngster doesn't feel like in top condition, maybe due to groin problems
