The match represented practically a perfect day for Real Madrid, who defeated Barca two goals to one in El Clasico and increase the gap at the top in La Liga by five points.

Jude Bellingham scored his maiden league goal along with key pass this term following a difficult period coming back from shoulder surgery.

Mbappe showed his deadly form when scoring, and the coach's game plan in his inaugural El Clasico as coach proved perfectly.

However the Brazilian's situation reared its head once more.

Dissatisfied with his substitution, the star forward ranted while walking right by Xabi Alonso before stormed to the dressing room, before reappearing on the sidelines later.

Manager's Approach Gets Positive Outcomes for Jude Bellingham

In his first derby, this wasn't a bad one, especially since seven of Real's last eight managers lost their initial league match with Barca.

After the player-focused approach under Ancelotti did not deliver last season, his structured approach delivered a significant outcome.

A specialist commented, The strategy worked brilliantly. Madrid were very good, and Barcelona were off-color due to Madrid's tactics.”

When not in possession, they pushed up consistently, and when bypassed, they fell back in an organised way, everybody even Vinicius.”

The team's shape in two layers spaced by a short distance. Barca struggled to penetrate.”

This approach seems beneficial for Jude, as he previously was expected to cover multiple roles in midfield and additional duties.

In the lineup the 22-year-old played on the right, but in practice he could to drift inward and either assist the attack or get into scoring positions.

The expert added, With Camavinga in the middle, it brings greater energy and additional options to block the passing lanes.”

As a result the team to put Jude on the right-hand side. I'm sure his role included to monitor the runs of Mbappe when he had the ball and found openings, and he located him a few times.”

His instructions included to move into the penalty area and position himself near the outskirts of the area, where he poses a threat. Additionally, he moved centrally to close the inside channels creating the opponent's play tough.”

Conflict Issues Revealed

Undoubtedly that the fans love Vinicius, his name were sung repeatedly by the passionate Bernabeu crowd.

But there have been numerous stories over the past period that Real Madrid might think about selling him should a suitable bid was made.

The winger will have a year left under his current terms when this term concludes, but discussions on a renewal have stalled.

The player's reaction to being replaced with 20 minutes left spoke of tension. After the full-time whistle, he had to be restrained as he tried to approach Lamine Yamal.

Balague commented, Many will criticize him for good reason, since it displayed poor sportsmanship for the substitute who replaced him.”

Yet, growing up, he has existed amid adversity, and he feels that everyone is against him.”

This mindset is hard to change, especially when you consider yourself close to being number one in the world, and the organization redirects attention in favor of Mbappe as the star.”

During this campaign he has perceived that the club isn't protecting him. Reports suggest, possibly leaked by the club, or with the club not denying it, that they wouldn't be unhappy an offer worth a quarter-billion euros for his transfer and let him go.”

“He feels all that, so when he was taken off – fairly, because Vinicius stopped dropping back as required – in Vinicius' head he questions ‘why me, why me again?.”

It may be challenging to build a bridge with the club and Vinicius currently.”

Barca's Approach “Falls Apart”

After winning each of the last season's derbies, the latest display represented Barcelona's unconvincing beginning of the season.

Injuries have deprived the Barcelona coach of key players such as Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo, and the tactical setup is failing when they are missing.

Balague stated, “It's like the whole team is a little bit less sharp without the ball, not as eager to regain possession, less aggressive in pressing.”

Opponents find it simpler to create chances against them. If the defensive line is flawed, like on the first goal since the defender played him onside, they receive little support from the attack not challenging those on the ball adequately.”

The young talent, who troubled Madrid in previous meetings, was kept largely in check.

“Their stars did not perform well. Yamal seems not he's in good form, maybe due to groin problems
