MADRID MAINTAINS THE ADVANTAGE OF 8 POINTS
Rodrygo Goes makes Real Madrid more of a leader against Athletic (2-0)
Real Madrid does not want to give up the LaLiga title and has achieved a new, very comfortable victory, to recover the eight-point advantage over FC Barcelona. Rodrygo Goes wants to be the protagonist in the final stretch of the season
The Real Madrid follows without failing and sum a new victory in LaLiga to sign his vigésimocuarto consecutive party without knowing the defeat. They have lived a very comfortable night in front of an Athletic Club that has reserved strengths for the final of the Glass of Rey, but that was not able to plant expensive neither contest him the triumph to a group madridista that, with Rodrygo Goes with spirits of claim, has dressed of figure and defined the party with a doublet of golazos.
Remove him the title to the Real Madrid seems an utopia to day of today, although the FC Barcelona has raised the flight in this last stretch of the season. They would have to happen too many things, by merit of a group madridista that has been synonymous of regularity and proof in this course. Even in the nights that do not shine or sign goleadas, are able to resolve the parties without a lot of effort. Against the Athletic, one of the teams that are able of 'rascar' points to the big, has remained showed.
It was not the most offensive Madrid of the course neither one able to raise constantly to the fans of his seats in Santiago Bernabéu, but yes one very intelligent from the game without balloon. They conditioned, from the first instant, to an Athletic Club that knew presionar, steal and keep the balloon, but that did not find spaces to try mark the difference. The ones of Carlo Ancelotti advanced very soon in the marker, to the seven minutes, for 'show' that the individual talent also can define parties.
Rodrygo Goes Does that the Madrid no 'extrañe' to Vinicius
Brahim Díaz commanded a big balloon so that Rodrygo Goes, that only carried a goal in 11 parties of League in 2024, traced the diagonal to inside and, from out of the area, commanded a potentísimo finish direct to the square. Agirrezabala Tried to brake it, but his pulled was insufficient. The goal did not change the plan of a Basque picture that kept the possession, but saw to close very easily the ways when it directed to the area of Lunin. In fact, in the first-half only the intentonas of Guruzeta and Berenguer put to work to the guardameta Ukrainian.
By his part, the Madrid grew little by little and achieved a pair of opportunities to increase the advantage before the rest. Fede Valverde, that went of less to more, had the 2-0 in his boots after hunting a refuse of the defence after a corner. It commanded a zapatazo powerful from out of the area and forced to the put of San Sebastián to take part with a good hand to avoid his target. Dani Vivian dressed of hero to avoid that Bellingham finished a centre injected of danger of Brahim and afterwards was the 'luck' the one who saved to the ones of Ernesto Valverde: Tchouameni cabeceó with a lot of power a centre of Toni Kroos from the corner and left brushing the stick.
The venues could give continuity to the good feelings in the resumption and Brahim brushed his goal with a shot crossed that it left 'besando' the far stick. The 'lions' answered a very good deed after a corner in the quela saga madridista did not warn the presence of Iñaki Williams in the second stick. It commanded a potentísimo finish that it repelled Lunin, in extremis, with a very good intervention.
The Athletic, without options in front of a comfortable Real Madrid
The party asked to a dominador that did not appear and, when the clock brushed the 60 minutes, arrived the controversy in Santiago Bernabéu: Rodrygo fell in the area after a fault of Lekue, but Alberola Rojas signalled offside of the Brazilian in the beginning of his driving although it was Vesga the last in touching the spherical. The Madrid went out in a torrent to look for the second, but were not hit as in previous nights. Valverde Appeared to connect with Carvajal inside the area, but went him the control when had everything to finish.
Agirrezabala Appeared to time to refuse a centrochut of the right side madridista and was the anteroom for the sentence of a Rodrygo that has enchufado for the final stretch of the season and has 'inflado' of golazos in the Bernabéu. It took advantage of a big contragolpe, put in the 'kitchen', broke to his mark with a good cut and commanded the balloon to save with a finish unappealable. The Athletic, that went down the policeman with the mind put in the final of the Glass of Rey, tried to discount with a 'attempt' of finish of Muniain, but reacted rightly Lunin.
