From results to the great exam, by Sergi Solé

An evening has no atmosphere of Champions if rays of light still enter the Camp Nou in the middle of autumn but the day ended in the best way with the renovation of Ansu until 2027 and the victory of Bayern al Benfica to resurrect the forced objective of being in the second round. There was no football to shoot rockets nor an impact like the goals of Ansu a Levante and Valencia. Yes, it will be results, but after winning at Valencia, Koeman saved against Dinamo a match ball against sinning from the forcefulness that weighed on him in much of the past year, even with Messi. And on Sunday comes the Madrid. Another exam. For all. With much more room for error in LaLiga but having to win a damn time to a big rival. There will be a thousand duels: Ter Stegen-Courtois, Piqué-Benzema, Busquets-Casemiro, Frenkie-Modric, Memphis-Alaba and Ansu-Vinicius. The Athletic killed the Barça coming out with three taps. The Madrid makes it from movies. It will be a Classic to get excited or resign oneself to reality.
