After two setbacks by Atleti and Barça, Madrid appeared at the Bernabéu with the opportunity to take the lead at the end of the twentieth day of the league. For this, I couldn’t count on Modric, bad for football lovers; nor with Tchouaméni, bad for lovers of whistles; nor with Vinícius, bad for those who love to pour out their frustrations on others. Madrid did not waste the opportunity and won decisively, despite a worrying start.
Carletto opted for a predictable eleven with the wickers he had available, with Valverde and Rodrygo in the place of the absent Aurélien and Vini. In addition to the first place in the standings, one of the attractions of the clash was Mbappé who arrived in a truly positive dynamic. Another incentive, the possible return to the playing fields of Alaba more than a year later. Both expectations were met and fulfilled.
Quintero González whistled the start of the match at a quarter past nap, without a doubt the best time to play and watch football. In fact, the beginning of the match caught Madrid asleep and Lucas Vázquez in a sleep deeper than that of Sleeping Beauty. Silva took his back and scored the 0-1 at will 26 seconds into the game. Damn with record precocity.
Madrid responded immediately: Brahim was given a ball by his teammates that he only had to push near the goal and without a mark. He threw him out. Four minutes later, another brilliant chance: Silva was able to score again by sneaking through that defensive Bermuda triangle on the right flank of the white rearguard.
They say that in football a good midfield is capital. Madrid, once again, had started playing the game without him. Mbappé, however, was able to equalize after 7 minutes, but between Cillessen and the post they prevented the goal. To make matters worse, Bellingham resented his shoulder.
Shortly after the quarter-hour mark, Rodrygo entered the rival area from the right corner and Sandro clearly brought him down. Clear penalty. Reported without VAR or anything, a very strange fact when it comes to Real Madrid. A different Mbappé from that Mbappé without confidence from weeks ago who took penalties stiffly, scored the ball and easily slipped it into the rival goal. 1-1. There was a world left to finish resolving the initial mess.
Brahim was able to put the whites ahead after a sweet spoon from Kylian, his shot crossed a forest, and gently reached the goalkeeper’s hands after hitting several trees. Shortly after, Mbappé again: shot from the outside corner of the area that Cillessen banished to the corner with a mitten popcorn. The goalkeeper saved another goal from Rodrygo with a different tactic: absolute sobriety. Madrid had already woken up and was accelerating at a dizzying pace under the leadership of Ceballos.
In the 32nd minute, an unusual decision in today’s football ended in a goal. Instead of playing over and over with the goalkeeper, Asencio decided to turn forward, break a line and give the ball an outlet. Mbappé, after sublime control and driving, unleashed another blow made in Kylian which forced Cillessen to make another big stretch. Lucas gave the rebound to Brahim who this time managed to score. 2-1. Sleeping Beauty had completely woken up.
The most decisive player in the world was in charge of extracting oil from a new recovery by Valverde and scored 3-1 first inside the area after an assist from Rodrygo. Second from a completely unleashed Mbappé who scored the fourth in the 41st minute, but Quintero González was called by Figueroa Vázquez (not to be confused with Vázquez Figueroa, although both help to build stories) from the VAR, he had to decide if Kylian’s statue pose influenced the start of the play, more or less when the number nine was taking a photo for the reminders of his first communion, since the Frenchman was a few millimeters further forward than the yellow defender. Obviously, the braid interpreted that Mbappé had an influence. Goal disallowed.
Before the break, Kylian almost scored another goal. To the locker room in festival mode after a benzodiazepine start and with Mbappé in football god mode.
Ancelotti’s men resumed the match with the same intensity as they had finished the first half. An excellent pass from a great Ceballos was not converted by Jude into a goal because of the song of a modern TV.
-Madrid had the game in their pocket, but given how easy it is to complicate their lives, it was imperative not to relax and, if possible, not make gross mistakes.
At 12′ of the second, Madrid scored again the fourth. On this occasion they did not find anything punishable in the neolithic of the play and Rodrygo’s goal went up the scoreboard after another good team play by Madrid.
We were in that situation when Benito decided to kick Lucas Vázquez with his tacos. Quintero González did not do well. First, he let it continue because Rodrygo was dangerously sneaking into the area. When the Brazilian was about to shoot, he stopped the game to show Benito yellow, not red, then he had seen the play, and he avoided a clear chance by not applying the law of advantage. Afterwards, the VAR called him and after seeing Benito’s animal tackle he changed the initial yellow for a straight red. Lucas ended up with his body marked, in the same way that Varane did years ago after Lenglet stuck his studs on him in the area without the referee or VAR lifting a finger.
For Las Palmas, McBurnie, a footballer with the name of a hamburger in promotion, jumped onto the field, and for Madrid, Alaba was preparing to return to the pitch. Meanwhile, Jude scored the fifth. But Quintero González decided that there was a bad fifth and annulled it again after reviewing it in the VAR. The reasons don’t matter. If it’s not one, they find another.
Gala ovation, with the bench standing, for Alaba when he joined the game. What good news is your return. Meanwhile, Rodrygo was placed in the rival area, but these plays are only called if it is Asencio who stars in them. Continuous applause also went to Ceballos, who was having a superb game and the Bernabéu did not hesitate to chant his name on several occasions and to see him off standing when he was replaced by Chema.
Güler had also been put into the fray by Carletto and filtered an exquisite pass to Lucas, who placed it in the six-yard box, but Bellingham took away Mbappé’s hat-trick by finishing off a ball that Kylian was already savoring.
And Fede took his rifle and magically placed it in the squad. But Quintero González wanted to sign his particular hat-trick of disallowed goals and disallowed it due to offside by Lucas who was then replaced by league debutant Lorenzo.
In the 90th minute, the referee was not forced to disallow Bellingham’s goal because his shot was cleared by Cillessen.
There was no time for more. Madrid played, scored on the back of a differential Mbappé and finished as leader, like so many other times for more than a hundred years.
