With the game in hand a few minutes from the end, Real Madrid gave themselves a scare, but ended up winning logically against Alavés (3-2) on Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabéu during the seventh day of La Liga. The club from the Spanish capital thus puts pressure on its great rival FC Barcelona, still leader.
Real Madrid – Alaves 3-2
LALIGA // 7th day // Season 24/25
24.09.2024
Perfectly launched by Lucas Vazquez’s early opening goal in the 54th second of play, Carlo Ancelotti’s men logically widened the gap with a nice goal from Kylian Mbappé after a one-two with Jude Bellingham (40th).
The fifth goal in seven days for the French striker, who continues to grow in power under his new colours and came off to a standing ovation from his supporters after another full match (80th).
From 3-0 to 3-2 in two minutes!
Starting from his right wing, the Brazilian Rodrygo showed his speed at the start of the second half to score the third goal for the Merengue solo (48th), before the visitors completely revived the suspense with two goals in two minutes from the Uruguayan captain Carlos Benavidez (85th) and the experienced Kike Garcia (86th), in vain.
The Madrid club (2nd, 17 points), whose fifth consecutive victory in all competitions, thus returns to one length of Barça (1st, 18 points) who host Getafe on Wednesday (9 p.m.). Real extends its unbeaten run in the championship still in progress for a year to the day (39 matches).
