Come Malvadeza
Vinicius Jr. was the highlight of the game, on the positive side and also on the negative side.
In the first half, a performance to silence the critics! At 15 minutes, he took advantage of a corner kick, dominated the ball on the left side of the ball, straightened up and hit the corner perfectly, removing it from the goalkeeper and opening the scoring. A final class for anyone who says they can’t kick.
And not only for the goal: he sent Real at the start of the game.
In the second half, however, the story changed. And he missed goals that could have reassured the game too much.
At 7, he received from Asensio, passed the mark and stayed in the goalkeeper’s face, but a little without an angle. He tried digging and flirted with a great goal, but ended up seeing the ball go off the side of the goal, removing paint from the crossbar.
Two minutes later, he missed a goal! Benzema reached the baseline and crossed low. Vinicius went ahead, only with the mission of displacing the goalkeeper, but he caught the ball very badly and sent it.
Benzema’s final zica
Real Madrid’s best player last season, Benzema cleared his personal scoreboard in the current league.
The Frenchman had at least two good chances, but failed to score. First, he headed very badly off a great center from Casemiro in the first half. Then right on the first dangerous pitch of the final stage, he faced goal and even finished very well at the beginning, but stopped at the post.
When it seemed that he was going to finish in white again, Rodrygo pulled off an excellent counterattack in added time, found a sweet pass from the defense field and left Benzema facing the goal. The Frenchman only dislocated the goalkeeper and went to hug.
Real mistake!
Despite the victory, Real Madrid suffered again and needed a bit of luck and many good saves from Courtois to maintain the victory.
In the first half, the crossbar saved the merengue team from Postigo’s header after a corner kick.
In the second, the Belgian shone: at least four beautiful defenders. In the most beautiful of them, he used his feet to save the team after the ball was deflected at Casemiro, kicked by Morales. Courtois had already fallen to the corner, but he still recovered.
WAS Madrid?
So criticized in Spain, the VAR this time annulled a Real Madrid goal – and that would give the meringues a lot of peace of mind.
In the 22nd minute, Sergio Ramos rose higher than anyone on Modric’s free kick and headed the ball into the back of the net. The VAR, however, saw a millimeter impediment on the part of the defender and canceled the play; after much delay, it is true.
Classification
