MADRID http://www.edmontonoilersteamstore.com/adidas-kailer-yamamoto-jersey , Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona produced a solid display to win 2-0 away to Alaves, while Real Madrid missed chances and were held to a 2-2 draw at home to a Valencia that has been given a new look. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad and Leganes maintained 100 percent starts to the season during an interesting weekend in the Spanish La Liga before the international break.


1. Asensio is new Real Madrid hero, but Bale and Benzema must improve


Marco Asensio's two goals for Real Madrid in their 2-2 draw at home to Valencia confirmed what some of us suspected already: he is an extraordinary talent and is on the way to being the new hero of the fans in the Santiago Bernabeu. The youngster gets better and better and this season he is destined to be a leader for the side.


However, if Asensio steps up http://www.edmontonoilersteamstore.com/adidas-jussi-jokinen-jersey , then someone will have to step down and at the moment Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema are the main candidates after disappointing displays on Sunday. Bale was booed off, while Benzema missed four chances which would have kept the points in Madrid. The fans in the Santiago Bernabeu are not known for their patience, and the pair have to improve fast.


2. This is a different Valencia


It would be wrong to focus all the responsibility for Madrid dropping points on the home side; visitors Valencia also had their part to play in the final result. New coach Marcelino Garcia has brought with him a chance of sucess to a team which last season lacked focus and discipline.


Marcelino's men were well-drilled and hard-working in the Bernabeu and have a nice balance of youth and experience with goal scorer Carlos Soler a player to keep an eye on this season.


Meanwhile, Geoffrey Kondogbia has brought added bite to their midfield and Simone Zaza brings enthusiasm to their attack.


With Marcelino at the helm, things look as if they will be very different for Valencia this time around.


3. Little by little http://www.edmontonoilersteamstore.com/adidas-jujhar-khaira-jersey , Valverde is doing his job


Ernesto Valverde must have had moments this summer when he questioned
