The team knew that Osasuna would try to defend and counter-attack, so they worked on a strategy to overcome this. In the first half, Real Madrid struggled to create scoring opportunities, but they had more chances in the second half. Mbappe's goal gave them the lead, and they maintained control of the game.

Mbappe praised his coach, Xabi Alonso, for his tactics. Alonso wanted the team to have more possession of the ball and create scoring opportunities by moving the ball quickly between players. Mbappe said that they worked on this strategy during the week and executed it well in the game. However, there were still areas for improvement, especially since it was the first game of the season.

The win was also significant for Mbappe, as it was his first competitive game at the Santiago Bernabeu wearing the number 10 jersey. He mentioned that the number 10 is special at Real Madrid, and he feels lucky to have played in two important numbers in two seasons. What matters most to him is playing at the Bernabeu for Real Madrid.
