The Real Madrid shoots first and expects answer of the Barça

The Real Madrid achieved a genial victory this Saturday against a RCD Espanyol that opuso resistance in some phases of the party in the centre of the field and the defence, but that neither reflected any type of superiority in front of the leader of LaLiga Santander 2016-17.

In fact, the goals of Álvaro Morata and Gareth Bleat were sufficient to sink to an Espanyol that promised big expectations when being offering recently a good game under the control of Quique Sánchez Flores, but that again went back to leave fall his illusions in sack broken in Santiago Bernabéu where does not win from does already 21 years, that says prompt.

It was not the party exento of controversy. In the minute 14, an offside very adjusted of Gerard Moreno -and very criticised by Quique Sánchez Flores- left to the Espanyol without a clear occasion to decant the scales to his favour in the Bernabéu. A chamber of hour afterwards would arrive the first goal, work of Álvaro Morata after a good assistance of Isco Alarcón. 

Victoria plácida for the Real Madrid in League

From here the Real Madrid dominated more or less the possession and the meeting, although without seeing goal again until the last minutes of the meeting. Gareth Bleat, that reappeared in League Santander after several months lesionado, marked the goal of the sentence and confirmed that it is a big candidate to snatch the place of leader of the team to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo demanded a penalti in the injury time that could have been signalled by Undiano Mallenco, but the true is that the Portuguese went back to remain dry in front of the Espanyol, being able to move away this day 23 even more of Leo Messi and Luis Suárez in the fight by the "Pichichi". The Barça, on the other hand, will have to answer this Sunday to the Real Madrid winning to the Leganés in the Camp Nou.
