Bellingham's goal against Juventus was his first at the Santiago Bernabeu since April, and the team's win over Barcelona has stretched their lead at the top of the table to five points. The game was also notable for controversy surrounding winger Lamine Yamal's comments before the match, but Alonso downplayed the importance of these comments, saying that his team was motivated to win regardless.

Madrid had several goals disallowed for offside, but still outplayed Barcelona in Alonso's first Clasico as coach. Winger Vinicius Junior had a strong game, but raised some eyebrows when he complained about being substituted. Alonso praised Vinicius' contributions to the team, saying that he brought a lot to the game, like the other players.

Alonso emphasized that the team's focus should be on the importance of the win, rather than individual performances or controversies. "It's an important win and it could even have been bigger," he said.
