Zidane’s triumph, Setien’s break: Real knock Barcelona off the champion’s throne



[ad_1]

On Thursday, Zinedine Zidane’s students defeated Villarreal at home 2: 1 (1: 0).

Both goals were scored by the team’s former Karim Benzema, who is breathing behind Barcelona leader Lionel Messi on the league’s most productive player list. In the Argentine country – 23 precise shots, in the French – 21.

Messi also completed his bill on Thursday, but his goal did not save him from failure. The Catalans have not been able to beat Osasuna’s footballers in Pamplona in their field, with José Arnaiz and Roberto Torres in the ranks.

In addition, Osasuna from 75 min. played without the elimination of Enrico Gallego.

After a 1: 2 failure, Barcelona (79 points) lost the title, it could no longer reach Real (86 points).

The Spanish media have no doubt that such a climax will cost the position of Barça’s helmsman, Quique Setien.

In turn, the team with the most titles in the country, the team from the Spanish capital won the trophy for the first time since 2017.

The win is doubly sweet for Z. Zidane, who returned to Madrid last March. Arriving to the rescue along with Cristiano Ronaldo and the losing team, the 48-year-old Frenchman was at a dead end earlier this season.

Marco Asensio and Eden Hazard suffered serious injuries, Thibaut Courtois’s form did more damage than good, and there was a Cold War with Gareth Bale.

However, after the quarantine, Real returned in a real way, winning all ten matches.

At that point, the intrigue in the fight for third place will remain alive until the last round. Atlético de Madrid managed to regain that position on Thursday, beating the other Getafe team in the capital 2-0.

The winning goals were scored by Marcos Llorente and Thomas Partey.

Diego Simeone’s troops also took advantage of Sevilla’s stumble, the latter stood out goalless with the Real Sociedad de San Sebastiano.

Atlético now has 69 points and Sevilla two less. It is true that both teams are already calm about their seats in next season’s UEFA Champions League.

Results for next Thursday:

Eibar 3 – 1 Real Valladolido

Bilbao Athletic 0 – 2 Leganés

Vigo Celta 2 – 3 Valencia Levante

Mallorca 1-2 – Granada

Real Betis de Sevilla 1 – 2 Deportivo Alaves de Vitoria

Valencia 1 – 0 Barcelona Espanyol
