4 taking point from Real Betis vs Real Madrid La Liga game; Jovic still struggling.

Madrid secured their first win of the season on Saturday.

Odegaard fails to impress
Martin Odegaard was included in Real Madrid's starting XI for the second consecutive week on Saturday. However, the Norwegian was sloppy and ineffective and Zinedine Zidane opted to take him off at half-time.

Valverde shows what Madrid were missing
Fede Valverde missed last week's trip to Real Sociedad and his display against Real Betis proved just how much the Blancos need him in the team. The 22-year-old put in a tireless display, helping in both defence and attack.

Jovic still needs time
Zidane handed Luka Jovic his first start since January at Betis and the striker appeared eager to impress. While the 22-year-old failed to score, he won a penalty and is clearly ready to fight for his place in the team.

Courtois remains world-class
While Thibaut Courtois conceded twice against Betis, his wonder save in the first half arguable kept Madrid in the game. The Blancos are set for a long and exhausting campaign but the Belgian's struggles are long behind him.
