The stadium was packed and a festival of goals took place at the Cartagonova. The gap between Real Madrid and Deportiva Minera effectively eliminated any chance of an upset, especially since the match was not played on the synthetic turf of Llano del Beal, but rather at Cartagonova, which was well prepared after hosting the Cartagena-Leganés match the day before. Real Madrid took the lead but left behind ticket revenue (80 euros for the cheapest, 150 for the most expensive) covering two annual Deportiva budgets, while offering a thrilling spectacle thanks to a squad made up of Castilla players and even a young player, while highlighting mega stars. Modric played an hour, while Mbappé and Vinicius each played half an hour.
Madrid showed great respect for their opponents, embodying the true spirit of the game by playing with the intensity of an official match. They seemed more keen to regain possession in the opposition’s half than usual, a spark likely fueled by the presence of Brahim, Güler, Endrick and Fran García, all vying for a place in the starting XI. The first two goals came quickly, but the total did not exceed five, a figure that hardly qualifies as humiliating for the beaten team. The reason the score was not higher was not due to Madrid’s lack of effort, but because Fran Martínez made an impressive 17 saves, many of them in critical situations. His performance was commendable.

Full-back Lorenzo and central defender Aguado impressed, with Aguado showing an excellent left foot. Chema, the central midfielder, only played half an hour but was reliable during his time on the pitch. Vinicius came on for the last half hour with a somewhat distracted behavior, which is unusual for him. Additionally, the negligence of the committee, which could have met virtually yesterday if they take football as seriously as everyone else, raises a question: What would happen if they decided to sanction him for a serious violation, this who would extend the suspension beyond LaLiga? I doubt it, given the ambiguous wording of Soto Grado’s report, but such cases should not occur.
