Real Madrid-Alavés Two victories from the title

Each day the account is easier. Madrid is two victories from the title after another uneventful triumph, the eighth in a row, before an Alavés who is already around the abyss. The team wins more than it plays, but at this point what strikes the how. With everything, He endured the first attack of Alavés and I end up taming him with the passage of minutes with the most reliable trident of all those that Zidane has tried: Asensio-Benzema-Rodrygo. There was also a cameo by the VAR, who conceded the second goal for Madrid after Rodríguez Carpallo, interim referee after Gil Manzano's injury, had annulled it.

Take a look back and you will find dozens of leagues like this, with Madrid in sprinter version, head on the handlebars and temper not to look back at the moment of truth. Even when it's just about everything. It is in its history and in this mini championship, in which it has made its way by walking back and forth. Against Alavés he was without three quarters of the starting defense, the line that has led him here. An emergency moved one extreme, Lucas Vázquez, to the right side. Lopetegui has already tried it, although he did not insist on it. After three minutes he lost the first game with Edgar Méndez, whose center ended in a double auction with pepper: Joselu to the crossbar and Lucas Pérez against a Varane of the last frontier almost on the line. Joselu and Lucas Pérez are the salvation front for Alavés, a couple of goals that have kept a team that is not intrepid and little given to development out of danger.. Now they have played truant before the goal and the team looks close to the abyss. On that double opportunity, the party train left them.

There and in the imprudence of Ximo Navarro, who lost a sprint with Mendy went to the ground and took the Frenchman off the track. A penalty that Benzema converted into a goal with Ramos dying of envy in the stands.

For Mendy Madrid grabbed the game. It was an endeavor of Zidane who found Reguilón in the Seville to which he has dosed the entry. He started looking at the saddle to Marcelo, then he entered the relay and from here at the end he will be in the lead. Start to put temper to that huge engine. He frequently passed Rodrygo on the left.

The Brazilian and Asensio have ended up being the best escort of Benzema after a very long casting from which lords (James and Bale) and vassals (Vinicius, Valverde, Lucas himself, Brahim …) fell. They reversed their Bilbao papers: Asensio on the right and Rodrygo on the left. Playing on foot changed subtracts depth and adds auction. And Madrid, who had won 1-0 the last three games, was more for the second than for the first. They started out regular and ended up great, outside and inside.

Alavés, meanwhile, had a game on the wire for a while. It was not anywhere near that team that seemed to declare bankruptcy after the break. There was courage in Muñiz's lineup when assisting his attacking partner with Edgar and Burke and the team's daring on the field. Before the break, he created two good chances, in shots by Burke and Joselu, and protected himself well behind: Madrid's most intentional approach after the goal was a suicide shot by Camarasa, except for Roberto.

Gil Manzano did not return from the break, injured in an ankle, and the Valencian relieved him Rodríguez Carpallo, rookie of Second B. A ballot paper in times when the VAR is Vesuvius. And within five minutes The first brown was found: Madrid's second goal, with Benzema on the edge. The Frenchman assisted Asensio at an empty door after receiving from Rodrygo, the line raised the flag signaling offside and Alberola, from the VOR room, corrected him. Everything that surrounds Madrid in this post-pandemic moves at the edge of the law. On these two occasions, on the inside edge.

The 2-0 left a more foamy game. Madrid, in the open field, found spaces and opportunities. And Alavés, with everything lost, also lifted the skirts for Madrid's recomposed defense. But behind his back The best Courtois was on time. The goal had given Madrid few points in the last leagues, but the Belgian has been crucial in this one. He took a shot at point-blank range from Joselu who would have put Alavés in the game.

Muñiz, in the absence of 20 minutes, was withdrawing soldiers who will be worth for another war (three left) and Zidane followed the rope. Madrid began to play in Granada. There he hopes to finish off the league of solidity.
