The numbers of the blush meringue

The noisy failure which meant the 0-1 conceded by the Real
Madrid before him Cadiz does not go so much through the outcome of the match itself (in football everything is possible) as in the shape in which the first white KO of the season arrived.

And it is that if watching the meeting there was already the feeling that the triumph Cadista, despite a possession of 25.2%, had been short, the statistics confirm this impression. These are the data of the blush meringue, according to the summary of the company Opta.

Cádiz beat Real Madrid in everything. Made more auctions total: 14 Andalusians for 13 whites. Of these, 5 of the visitors were to goal for only 2 of Zidane's. In addition, the targets allowed their rivals to shoot from inside the area up to 11 times, while the locals did it in 8.

In the aerial game, Cadiz's overwhelming dominance: 6 heads for just 2 of Benzema and company. Up in corners they managed to almost triple those of Carranza to the owners of the land: 11 to 4.

In section disciplinary, fair game, with more fouls from Real Madrid (7) than from Cádiz (5), which was reflected in only two yellow cards shown. Both to Militao Y Sergio Ramos, the two white centrals, by the way.

Only in one aspect of the match did Zidane's eleven long exceed Álvaro's: in the crosses to the area in play. A resource from which abuses recurrently, Real Madrid, as it is shown that on Saturday they used it even in 27 times, almost double that of his rival, who did it in 15.

It is the statistical summary of a merengue shipwreck signed by a starting eleven with an average age of 30 years, the highest of Real Madrid at least between LaLiga 2019-20 and the current one. A worrying fact to add to the already terrible numbers signed by Zidane's, who used up all five changes for the first time this year, four at halftime, in search of a reaction that did not come.
