Led then finally held in check against Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid missed a great opportunity to take control of the championship this Saturday evening (3-3). Casa Bianca is rocking at the moment.
How difficult it is to read the trajectory of Real Madrid at the moment. Capable of the best and the worst for several weeks, Casa Bianca proved it again this Saturday evening on the occasion of the 17th day of La Liga. However, the Merengue were aware of the stakes of this meeting against Rayo Vallecano. In the event of a victory, Carlo Ancelotti's players would occupy first place in the standings with a small point ahead of FC Barcelona. And it seems that this prospect has frightened more than one since Real Madrid came close to being penalized. First, the capital club was trailing by two goals in the 36th minute, first thanks to a beautiful header from Lopes well helped by a great cross from De Frutos (4') then thanks to another helmet hit this time signed by Mumin (36').
Frustrated by this scenario, the Madrilenians restarted the machine and came back to level with their evening opponent in the space of seven minutes, thanks to a right-footed missile from Federico Valverde then a header from Bellingham just before the break.
Under threat from Atlético
Returning from the locker room, Real Madrid pushed again until they were rewarded with Rodrygo's goal from a left strike. But this lead was only short-lived as a shot from Lejeune blocked by Palazon allowed Rayo Vallecano to come back level. Both teams then had a few opportunities to take the lead on the scoreboard without succeeding. This result is still a bad operation for the reigning Spanish champion, who was deprived this Saturday evening of Kylian Mbappé but who was able to count on the return of Vinicius Jr. In addition to missing the opportunity to take control of the championship, Casa Bianca is now within striking distance of Atlético who play this Sunday against Getafe. If successful, the Colchoneros would move ahead of the Madrilenians but would remain behind the Catalans on goal difference (+31 against +19). In the other matches of the day, Sevilla FC won against Celta Vigo for the last of Jesus Navas at home (1-0), Mallorca beat Girona (2-1) and Espanyol Barcelona and Osasuna did not failed to decide between them (0-0).
