Real Madrid Make a Perfect Start in LaLiga
Real Madrid have made an impressive start to the 2026/27 LaLiga season, showing early signs that they are ready to compete strongly for the Spanish league title. After three matches, Los Blancos have collected nine points from nine, scoring 10 goals and conceding only two.
The team began the campaign with a victory over Real Sociedad before defeating Espanyol away from home. Real Madrid then produced their most convincing performance of the opening weeks, beating newly promoted Málaga 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu.
This perfect record has immediately placed Real Madrid among the leading contenders for the LaLiga title, although the season is still in its early stages.
A Strong Attack Led by Mbappé and Bellingham
One of the biggest positives for Real Madrid has been the quality and variety of their attacking options.
Kylian Mbappé remains one of the team's most important attacking players. Against Málaga, the French forward scored after receiving a cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold, adding another important moment to his growing influence at the club.
Jude Bellingham has also started the season strongly. The English midfielder scored the opening goal against Málaga with an individual effort, demonstrating once again his ability to contribute in front of goal.
Meanwhile, Vinicius Jr. continues to provide pace and creativity from the attacking areas. The Brazilian was also involved in the build-up to Arda Güler's late goal against Málaga, highlighting the depth of Real Madrid's attacking talent.
With Mbappé, Vinicius Jr., Bellingham, Rodrygo, and Güler available, Real Madrid have several players capable of changing a match.
New Signings Add More Competition
Real Madrid also strengthened their squad during the summer. Six new signings made their official LaLiga debuts against Espanyol, including Bernardo Silva, Ibrahim Konaté, Denzel Dumfries, Marc Cucurella, Yan Diomande, and Carlos EspÃ.
These additions give the squad greater depth and provide more tactical options throughout the long LaLiga campaign.
The club's official squad list for the 2026/27 season also includes established stars such as Courtois, Bellingham, Camavinga, Valverde, Vinicius Jr., and Mbappé.
José Mourinho's New Challenge
The 2026/27 season represents another interesting chapter for Real Madrid under José Mourinho. The Portuguese coach is looking to build a competitive team capable of handling the demands of LaLiga while also competing in European football.
Real Madrid officially began their 2026/27 campaign under Mourinho in July, with the squad returning for medical tests and preseason preparations.
The early results have been encouraging, but the real test will come when the schedule becomes more demanding.
What Comes Next for Real Madrid?
After their 4-0 victory over Málaga, Real Madrid face a difficult September schedule. Their next LaLiga match is against Real Betis on September 4, followed by other major challenges during a busy period.
These matches will provide a much better indication of whether Real Madrid can maintain their perfect start and establish themselves as the strongest team in the 2026/27 LaLiga title race.
For now, however, Real Madrid supporters have plenty of reasons for optimism. Nine points from three matches, 10 goals scored, and only two conceded represent an excellent opening to the campaign.
