Madrid opens a way

Ancelotti’s Real Madrid is turning into an almost perfect machine in attack. They have gone from having too much dependence on Vinicius and Benzema at the beginning of the season to now being a team with a multitude of resources to score. Proof of this is the statistics in the Champions League: the last five goals have been from outside the area. It is a historical fact, because never before had the white team achieved five consecutive goals in this way.

The two goals that Kroos and Asensio made against Inter to seal the first place in the group join the three achieved against the Sheriff by Benzema, Kroos and Alaba. Special mention in this streak deserves the German midfielder, author of two of the goals and who is going through one of the sweetest moments of his sports career: He has scored two goals in the current edition of the Champions League, something that he had not achieved since the 2012-13 academic year (when he played for Bayern). In other words, it is the first time that he has scored more than one goal in the same campaign in Europe with the Real Madrid shirt. With the white club he has already achieved 25 goals in all competitions since he landed at the Bernabéu in the summer of 2014. 21 of those goals have been made with the right leg and four with the left (Tuesday was the first with the left-handed from outside the box).

Asensio

The goal that closed the scoring against Inter, the work of Asensio, was also special: it was Real Madrid’s 600 in the Champions League. In addition, it was the fourteenth goal that Ancelotti’s men did in the current edition of the European Cup, closing the group stage with a scoring average of 2.3 goals per game that helped them to be first.
