3: 3! Real Madrid can't get over a draw in Levante on Sunday night. So for the first time David Alaba leaves points with the “royal”.
On the second match day, the Viennese convinced with two offensive highlights. The interim 1: 0 by Gareth Bale and the 3: 3 goal by Vinicius Junior – both are initiated by a flash of inspiration from the left-back.

The “Marca” wrote: “He looks like a great newcomer, even if he looked a little soft on the third goal. As a left-back he felt comfortable. He blossomed on the side and made an offensive appearance.”
The “AS” judges: “He had a perfect game, was the key to Madrid's first goal and gave the game rhythm and speed – front and back. when the ball accidentally jumped on his head. “
The major media do not blame him for defensive mistakes. Some fans have less grace on social media. Alaba shares a team photo, promises in Spanish: “Together we will work hard this season too!”
Grumpy Madridistas also asked to speak in the comments. A 3: 3 is not celebrated at this club, some criticize the contribution after the match. Others are annoyed about the momentous mistake before conceding a third goal, but do not save on blame.
Sometimes tough words are used. Users doubt Alaba's abilities. Numerous fans rush to the aid of the Viennese. The 85-time team player has been welcomed with open arms by the majority of the supporters. After the departure of long-time defense chief Sergio Ramos, Alaba is following in big footsteps. That also brings a lot of pressure with it.
