REAL Madrid have made a perfect start to life under new coach Xabi Alonso and are aiming to extend that run today in La Liga when they host an Espanyol side who have also begun the season in impressive form.

Real Madrid aiming to stay perfect against impressive Espanyol

The Catalan minnows are one of four teams yet to taste defeat in the Spanish top flight, but have not beaten Madrid at the Santiago Bern-abeu since 1996.

Los Blancos are the only team to win all four of their opening La Liga games and then they beat Marseille on Tuesday to kick off their Champions League campaign with a victory.

Alonso said this was just the beginning and his team was still improving and finding their way.

“We're growing, and the players are getting a sense of purpose,” said the Spaniard.

“We're on the right track. And how we'll be in three months’ time will be better than what we are now.”
