He Athletic took all three points from Balaídos in an epic game achieved thanks to a goal from Memphis in the 88th minute. Seville added his fourth consecutive victory at Sánchez-Pizjuán against Mallorca to once again escape the danger zone and the boat becomes the almost perfect leader leading eight points over real Madrid after this Wednesday’s win of the meringues against Elche. This is the perfect ‘eleven’ for matchday 21 for Mundo Deportivo:
Oblak (To Madrid)
Great intervention by the Atlético goalkeeper who took the ball from Aspas on the goal line and was decisive in the 0-1 win against Celta. Atlético de Madrid took three points in the last breath of a game in which Celta had a chance to take the lead.
Iza (Cadiz)
The Cádiz defender was very solid in his tasks to stop Girona and help Cádiz deservedly in Nuevo Mirandilla against a shocked Catalan team who lost 2-0.
Aridane (Osasuna)
The centre-back withstood constant pressure from Valladolid throughout the game and Osasuna put up a real exhibition from this player who saved several dangerous occasions with his interventions.
Araujo (Barcelona)
A defensive performance by a fantastic Araujo allowed Barça to tie a crucial 0-1 at home to Villarreal. He was especially important in the second half, when he solved a chance for Yeremi in an emergency and, later, he came back to save the team with another two runs.
Javi Galán (Celtic)
The defender was decisive in keeping Celta alive until the 88th minute, when he conceded the 0-1 goal against Atlético. Always active and diligent in the field.
Kubo (R. Society)
Take Kubo is a nightmare against the Spanish. He warned in the 16th minute and did not disappoint in the 23rd minute. The Japanese invented a left-footed shot from the front that slipped past Álvaro’s stretch (he could have done something else) and made it 0-1 in the light to put Real’s victory on the right track.
Sancet (Athletic)
His goal in the 72′ sealed Athletic Club’s return to the Valencia field. The midfielder always looks for the goal and puts pressure on the Basque team.
Pedro (Barcelona)
Pedri’s connection, huge, with Lewandowski was crucial for Barça’s victory against Villarreal. His goal at 17′ decided the game.
Saved (Betis)
He scored the winning goal for Betis in the 70th minute, allowing them to return to the European zone. With Betis at their worst, with a 2-2 draw, Andrés Guardado was able to head a corner flawlessly at the near post to secure the three points.
Memphis (In Madrid)
His goal in the 88′ put the final 0-1 against Celta. Memphis is ready and puts him in the cage. That’s the last stretch and the three important points for mattresses.
Benzema (Real Madrid)
With his penalty double against Elche, the French striker has scored 11 goals in this League and is equal to Joselu (Espanyol) and three behind ‘Pichichi’, Robert Lewandowski (FC Barcelona).
