ANDI’m Real Madrid I can’t fail him spanish to stay alive in the fight for the league title. And it didn’t fail. They defeated the Catalan team and added three points leaving them six points behind Barcelona, It was a tough win for the Whites who had to come from behind against a Spanish side that didn’t take their moment in the match and, yes, made it difficult for Madrid as they couldn’t seal the win until. minute 93.
[+] Watch the match summary:
Real Madrid came out with empanadas at lunch, fittingly at 2:00 pm, when the game was played. Espanyol arrived eating from the hotel and showed it for the first quarter of an hour where he was the master of the party. Every long ball is a sentence for the whites and a joy for the ‘parrots’ who find a highway on the edge of Camavinga that he played everywhere, except where he needed to, as a left back. So, Rubén’s center came through the French band, which was taken advantage of Joselu to score 0-1 in the eighth minute.
A good goal for the game and for the shot from the Spanish striker. Real Madrid still did not appear at the Bernabéu and Espanyol had 0-2, but avoided it Courtois with a save to finish Vini Souza. That action was in the 15th minute and it seemed that the game would be a test for a slow Real Madrid, out of ideas and predictable. but it appeared Vinicius to show that the white team’s system is the Brazilian’s ball and he is in charge. This is how it became 1-1 at minute 22. An individual play by Vinicius who tied the game with a great shot. That goal woke up Ancelotti’s men and they put fear in the body of the ‘parrots’ that they were not at the start of the game.
Real Madrid did not suffer more than in the first quarter of an hour and not only that, but every time they reached the Pacheco area more and more, always with Vinicius as the offensive benchmark. There was a breath in the air that Real Madrid’s goal would come and it did. It is at minute 39 and its author, military who went to a cross outside Tchouaméni. Real Madrid came back to relieve the Bernabéu and at 2-1 they reached half-time and did so in the image of Ancelotti complaining about a yellow card Vinicius saw.
The second half started with Espanyol trying to tie, but Real Madrid was not the one at the start of the game. Much more serious in defense and dangerous in attack, the white team was not surprised by the Catalan team who constantly looked for long balls in the back of Real Madrid to create danger. Danger to call it somehow because the truth is thatand neither Spanish nor Madrid They create clear scoring opportunities. There has been much ado about nothing in a game where seeing a shot between three sticks is like discovering oil. There were attempts, yes, but success, none.
This is how the minutes pass in a rivalry where the great morbidity is the uncertainty of the score. Rodrygo could have ended that in the 75th minute when the ball hit the crossbar after taking a free kick. Ancelotti and Diego Martinez They used the changes to face the last stage of the match and among those who entered were Marco Asensio two games later, he had minutes again. Meanwhile, on the field, little or nothing happened, although unfortunately for the Catalan team the injury happened. pierre gabrieHe who became one of those who entered the second part.
Diego Martinez he put all his artillery in the last part to find the tie that reached the despair of a Bernabéu that did not see anything clear about the success of his team. The hope of ‘pericas’ ended in the discount with 3-1 of Marco Asensio in the 93rd minute after a great play by Nacho. Real Madrid breathed a sigh of relief and added three points leaving them six points behind Barcelona who play at San Mamés
