Kylian Mbappe's second half Penalty tapped an important compartment for Alonso, but their opening profit was not as dominant as Barcelona's.
Flick Side stormed an early 2-0 lead in Mallorca, before two first half red cards for the hosts effectively handed control on the road side, and Lamine Yamal added a spectacular third part in extra time.
Barcelona started with a flowering, and they get the chance to stack a little more pressure on Alonso, while they go to Levante for 24 hours before Real Madrid takes care of it on real Oviedo.
Despite the fact that he has won an early lead, Alonso is not interested in his rivals El Clasico until they meet in October.
'I'm not worried at all [about being ‘behind’ Barcelona]. I am worried about my level here at Real Madrid and how we are doing, “according to reports from Marca.
“Every week we can improve and grow like a team.”
