La Real has reached one of the important stages of the season far from its best version. With hardly any punch and without the defensive security that he had shown up to now, he has become a vulnerable team and suffers. Real Madrid is leading Anoeta and not because it was much better than the txuri urdin, but because it had a couple of sparks in the second half with which it finished the game and a Real without solutions or answers. Worrying ahead of Thursday’s final in the Europa League against PSV.
It was a very tactical first half in which both teams were more dedicated to scoring than looking for each other. Always taking precautions, hardly taking risks. Vertigo is better for Madrid, it is true, but Real surely lacked one more march. Especially when circulating the ball. Nobody was able to accelerate a play and thus the white team lived relatively comfortable.
Real Madrid also suffered a certain slowness in their game except when the ball reached the feet of Vinicius. His verticality and speed were always a threat that, yes, did not materialize in anything of value if we except the yellow one he saw Zubeldia for taking him down.
Injury to Benzema left a hole in the white attack because Jovic It is not the same or similar, but for a few minutes those of Ancelotti They came to put in their field a Real who defended herself with order discipline. A shot of Vinicius what caught Remiro and another of Rodrygo What diverted the net from Cascante was the little that Madrid could produce.
La Real is not that he did much more. A release of Januzaj out and a shot of Oyarzarbal after two attempts to auction off Sorloth e Isaac it was all his baggage. Scarce.
A corner that Gil Manzano he did not allow to take out when indicating the end of the first part, he roused the respectable, already pissed off with the behavior of the Extremaduran for his permissiveness in the protests of the white players. As usual.
Fatal rest
The second part could not have started in a worse way for Real. An error of Sorloth leave it to Jovic facing against the centrals. The Serbian empowered Rodrygo and the Brazilian, heeled, shot the body of Remiro. But the worst was yet to come because immediately after Vinicius drew a diagonal, made the wall with Jovic that left him the ball free inside the area so that he beat Remiro placing the ball next to the post.
La Real seemed to fit the goal well, but when they tried to grow their game, the second blow came. Kroos executed a corner kick, housemiro he won the game to Norman already Rico to touch the ball upside down and Jovic anticipated Guevara and Remiro to push the ball to the back of the net in a small area.
Imanol looked for solutions and spark on the bench and gave entry to Turrientes and Barrenetxea. Then they joined Zaldua and Port but there was no way. La Real had no response to the two goals from Real Madrid and even a third could arrive in a heads-up game of Vinicius what saved Remiro and the party was dying between the protests to Gil Manzano for its permissiveness and complacency before the meringues players and the impotence of a Real that did not compromise Courteous. And so it is impossible.
