UEFA Champions League
Real Madrid has made a perfect start to the season by defeating Real Sociedad with a hat-trick from Kylian Mbappé. Coach José Mourinho has made a tactical adjustment to the squad to grant the French attacker complete freedom in three attacking lanes, achieving a perfect record in the initial league matches of his second spell at the Chamartín bench.
José Mourinho's Scheme to Enhance Kylian Mbappé
The tactical decision made by José Mourinho allows Mbappé to shift positions between the left flank, central lane, and right profile during the game. This mobility helped the French international score 3 goals in the last match at the Santiago Bernabéu, making runs in the box and facing the opposing goalkeeper one-on-one.



In contrast to previous coaches' tactics, Mourinho's approach aims to replicate the tactical structure Mbappé used in the 2026 World Cup. The technical staff expanded the forward's range to increase his involvement with the ball and avoid pigeonholing him as a static center forward.
Integration of Denzel Dumfries and Arda Güler in Real Madrid's Scheme
The effectiveness of this offensive setup relies on the depth provided by Denzel Dumfries on the right wing and the distribution from the midfield by Arda Güler. The presence of the Dutch wing-back stretches the field horizontally, while the Turkish midfielder serves as the main provider of through balls.

With this victory, Real Madrid consolidates its positive start in the domestic competition. The board and coaching staff will evaluate the sustainability of this tactical system in the upcoming weeks against high-caliber opponents in the Champions League group stage.
Real Madrid will return to training this Thursday at the Valdebebas Sports City. The coaching staff led by Mourinho will test variations in the starting lineup before facing the next LaLiga fixture on the weekend.
