Real Madrid's win against Espanyol (1-8) on Sunday was a great dose of confidence for the white team, which has eight wins in the last nine matches of the Primera Iberdrola. Some good sensations among which highlighted the scoring return of his top scorer, a Kosovare Asllani that had stalled in recent games.
Specifically, the madridista crack had three games without seeing a goal (2 in the League and one with the Swedish National Team). Despite this, The Swedish forward is tied with nine goals with Esther (Levante) and Ludmila (Atleti) for the title of top scorer in the League. And, with his goal against the parrots, he recovers his best form for the derby with Atleti (Saturday, 12:00).
The Madrid star seldom fails in front of goal and has scored in seven of the eleven games played in the league. Asllani faces the derby with great motivation, since last year he failed to release his scoring locker against the rojiblancas.
The Swedish queen, as the Madrid fans call her, sIt will be one of the threats for Atlético. But, the mattress box will not only have to build its wall well to stop Asllani, but it will have to do it before a white offense that is the top scorer in Primera (30 goals), behind Barça (45) and ahead of Atlético.
