Real Madrid host Málaga at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday looking to maintain their perfect start to the 2026-27 La Liga season.
José Mourinho’s team have collected six points from their opening two matches, although the performances have been quite different. Real Madrid needed a late Carlos Espí winner to escape the RCDE Stadium with a 2-1 victory over Espanyol on opening weekend before producing a much more convincing display against Real Sociedad on Wednesday.
That second performance offered a better glimpse of what Mourinho will want his team to become. Real Madrid won 4-1 at the Bernabéu, with Kylian Mbappé scoring a hat-trick and Vinícius Júnior also finding the net.
The result leaves Madrid among the small group of teams with a perfect record through two rounds. Barcelona have also started with consecutive victories, meaning neither of Spain’s two biggest clubs will want to surrender any ground this early in what could develop into a tight title race.
Sunday represents another opportunity for Real Madrid to build momentum before the schedule temporarily becomes less congested.
