The Real Madrid faces the first of the last three league games with doubts on the attack front. Only Karim Benzema He has maintained a regular performance all season, supporting with his goals (28 in 43 games) a team that has reached the limit of its strength in the decisive stretch of the season.
Against Sevilla, the team of Zinedine Zidane saved the furniture in the second half to stay in the fight for The league thanks to the goals of Marco Asensio and Eden Hazard. Both the Balearic winger and the Belgian attacker broke their respective scoring droughts on a day in which Benzema Y Vinicius it was not inspired by the auction.
The Brazilian is accusing the load of minutes to which he has been subjected in recent weeks and remains stagnant in the six goals this course. In fact, Vinicius He has not seen the door since last April 6, when he scored two goals in the first leg of the quarterfinal of the Champions against Liverpool who helped put the pass of the Madrid to the next phase.
Since then, their performance has plummeted, as was proven in the game against the team of Lopetegui. Vinicius could barely beat Jesus Navas in heads-up (he only completed three dribbles in the 79 minutes he was on the field of play) and screwed up a very frank shot with everything in his favor that crashed into the wood.
Asensio, for his part, scored the goal that made it 1-1 and ended his losing streak in the face of goal. The Spaniard was also dry since the game against Liverpool and in the League he had not seen a door since the duel against him Eibar in the Di Stefano last April 3. The winger is no longer a fixed starter in recent games, largely due to the return of Hazard but it has shown that it is an effective stimulus to change the dynamics of the parties entering from the bench.
Eden HazardFortunately, he also ended his losing streak with a goal in the 94th minute that made it 2-2. The Belgian deflected the trajectory of a shot from Toni Kroos and he misled Bono. The ex of Chelsea is in the eye of the hurricane for his performance in Stamford Bridge and for laughing out loud with his former teammates moments after the elimination of Madrid was certified in the semifinals of the Champions.
The Belgian added before Seville his fourth goal of the season, the eighth since his arrival at Madrid in 2019. Hazard did not score since last January 23 against him Alaves on Mendizorroza.
