Real Madrid: Spatial Adjustments in the Central Axis
Real Madrid secured a third consecutive league victory under Jose Mourinho, defeating Malaga 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu. The tactical structure featured Jude Bellingham positioned directly behind Kylian Mbappé, operating as a primary central link rather than drifting into wide spaces or dropping into defensive distribution. Dani Carvajal advanced through the right channel to provide key progression, while Mbappé registered an additional conversion following a midweek hat-trick against Real Sociedad. Substitutions including Arda Güler, Yan Diomande, and Bernardo Silva reinforced Madrid's depth across the final third.
