Real Madrid is still Real Madrid. Last week, Zidane’s team almost rallied from 0: 3 in the game against Shakhtar, but today Comeback was successful against Borussia. The German team had an almost splendid match, they won 2: 0, but at the end of the game they pressed against their goal. Madrid does not forgive him. The old guard of “Real” in the form of Modric, Ramos and Casemiro were able to mercilessly extract two goals from half chances and ruin Gladbach’s holiday.
The victory in El Clásico gave Real Madrid confidence. In the first half hour of the game against Borussia, Madrid rolled the ball stately in the opposite half and put their patience to the test. There were also mid-role episodes. Benzema, Kroos, Asensio did well, but Sommer coped with his job. The “Borussia” expected, but from time to time included their pressure. And it was Gladbach who caught the opponent in a mistake, and not the other way around. Kroos gave an inaccurate pass to Ramos, and Hofmann – Plea – Thuram played a brilliant counterattack, which ended with a Thuram goal from his non-main leg. It was Borussia’s first blow in the match. The first hit is the first goal.
“Real” was amazed until the end of time and could not answer at any time. 1: 0, rest.
In the second half, the game pattern has not changed, but the “Real” has already acted without the usual confidence and concentration. This led to the second goal against Courtois. Varane and Ramos were carried away by pressure in the opponent’s half of the field, and “Borussia” competently re-entered the attack. This time the ball was on the flank, Laimer made a cross, Plea’s shot fought Courtois, but Thuram himself was on goal. There would have been no goal if Mendy had kept the offside line, but the rear of “Real” slept through the episode.
After 2-0, Borussia were closer to the third goal than Real Madrid to the first. The plea did not convert one-on-one, and Stindl struck from an acute angle next to the post.
To save the game, Zidane sent Azar, Rodrigo and Modric onto the pitch. Only one substitution worked, but it was enough to save the tie. In the first goal Modric gave a previous pass to Valverde to the free zone on the right wing, the Uruguayan held on, Casemiro cleared the ball off the line and Benzema, performing an acrobatic maneuver, hit Sommer. The second goal was a cross from Modric to the penalty area, Ramos won the fight and gave Casemiro a discount – 2: 2.
The “Real” escaped from defeat, but gave him two games ahead with “Inter Milan”. The “Borussia” in the second consecutive game loses the victory in the last minutes. Perhaps this is a lack of experience. So far, Shakhtar remains the only team to have won in Group B.
