This goal marked his ninth consecutive match scoring for the club and the national team, a personal record.\n\nReal Madrid will play its next match on October 19, after the LaLiga break due to the international matches this week.\n\nAlonso commented in the post-match press conference: &#8220;I can&#8217;t say that Mbapp\u00e9 won&#8217;t go with France. Right now he has some discomfort. They will have to evaluate him with the national team.&#8221;\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;We hope it&#8217;s not serious.

It was his decision, but the first option is Kylian.&#8221;\n\nAlonso praised Federico Valverde&#8217;s performance at right-back, after the midfielder was forced to issue a statement this week denying that he had refused to play in that position, and described Vin\u00edcius&#8217; impact as &#8220;decisive&#8221;.\n\n&#8220;Vini played a very good game,&#8221; Alonso said. &#8220;I am very happy with him. I like to see Vini smile and enjoy himself.
