Wound closed, future open. He real Madrid Not only has he gained fresh air with the two games following the Clásico, he has become the leader, surpassing Atlético and taking two more points from Barcelona (now there are seven). So, from this position, so far from that of Jeddah, despite the fact that only a week has passed, it allows many to think that the Barcelona thing was an accident or, and this is the interesting thing, that it was that turning point that has searching Ancelotti for months now.
Maybe, why not. Real Madrid He already has the best Mbappéleader of the team, has recovered for football David Alaba and has found in Ceballos the midfielder who leads the team and also steals. Another thing is that Ancelotti trusts him for other days, but against Las Palmas, the midfielder was applauded several times and ended up completing one of his best performances.
Someone had to pay for the dishes that broke at Real Madrid last week. It wasn’t Celta, who arrived too early, taking advantage of the rival’s mistakes, while the white team went through the public’s judgment. But Las Palmas was not so lucky. And that was ahead before Real Madrid touched the ball. Courtois was the first white player to have contact with the ball: when he caught it inside the goal after Fabio Silva’s goal. With Moleiro very plugged in, Las Palmas jumped into the Bernabéu ready to play heads or tails. That’s why the first minutes were so intense: Silva scored and Brahim almost scored on the next play. The match began at a dizzying pace, without the ball stopping in the center of the field. A risk for the weaker team, but also an opportunity if he knew how to hurt a rival with a still diminished ego.
It was Sandro, the Las Palmas striker, who broke the game with a penalty against Rodrygo so clear that it was even surprising. And there was no question about who was going to throw it. Mbappé caught the ball and his shot was, instead of strong, from an insecure player, with the inside, to the other side of the goalkeeper.
There was no more game. Moleiro disappeared and so did the island team. Madrid took the ball, shook off the fears, the bad memories and began a avalanche so typical of those afternoons at the Bernabéuwhen the team breaks loose and the rival defense fails to cover all the leaks. It is starting to be difficult to stop Mbappé, who is sprinting like the road runner, but with much more sense and terrifying. He was one goal away from scoring three and the statistics confirming that he is the forward that Real Madrid signed and that he is here to stay.
He also scored the third, with the first touch, after a pass from Rodrygo, very participative and eager from the left wing. The absence of Vinicius for two LaLiga games due to suspension has allowed Carlo Ancelotti not to have to make decisions at the top. Because what seems clear is that he is not going to change his scheme: two men in the center of the field and then those above. The story is that those at the top are not only the ones at the top. Brahim gives him more football in the middle, and also the second goal of the gamethe one who unbalanced the match and put it very, very downhill.
It was just a matter of bet how many goals the LaLiga leader was going to score. It remained at four, because in the second half the nerve was lost because everything was decided. And because the offside was almost a curse.
This time it didn’t matter: Madrid enjoyed it so much that in some attacking plays the two full-backs, Lucas and Fran, coincided in the rival area. This season, mainly, they have been sufferers.
Rodrygo made the fourth and then David Alaba came out. Everything is fine in Madrid, which was already due.
