Against Granada, the first part went along the same lines as the match in Bilbao. A Real Madrid flat, with little presence in attack and without taking command of the match. Something that caused the white fans not to hesitate to whistle the team.
Ancelotti, this time, did react on time and after the break he brought on Valverde that gave strength and verticality to Real Madrid. It was what the white team needed to break Granada’s defence. Real Madrid bottled up the Nasrid team and Ancelotti gave the team another twist by putting on the field Ceballos, Hazard and Jovic. Offensive changes to look for the victory that ended up coming with the goal of Marco Asensio.
