HThere are parties that are paid for by the bloc, others by the physical fund, and some by the quality of the best. An extraordinary spark from Rodrygo Goes midway through the second half gave Real Madrid the qualification in a discreet match. It is true that a good Cacereo hardly worried Lunin, but it is also true that the First Division team did just enough to continue in the competition.
Madrid dispatched a weak game. With a decent line-up, more than enough to establish differences over a team four categories lower, they were not able to prevail in almost any sector of the field. Neither the defense was comfortable, with Odriozola unhappy on the opposite side, nor did the midfield control the ball or the pace, nor did the attack really threaten. lazy, dI spent the minutes allowing the growth of the Cacereo, which put what it touched: tons of illusion.
Julio Cobos’s team was ordered around Claus, their pivot, and looked for the quality of Manchn and Carmelo to tempt fate. A shot from the last one close to the post and another, heeled, from the striker David Grande, well blocked by Lunin encouraged the respectable to start with the classic “yes we can”. In exchange, Madrid delivered a couple of starts from Asensio or Rodrygo that did not even end up in the hands of Ivn. The goalkeeper only had to use himself in a distant and crossed shot by Ceballosthe most intoned of the Madrid midfielder.
Ancelotti’s caution in the eleven was not reciprocated by many of his players, some World Cup players. Certain, Prince Felipe’s pitch was terrible, but it should not explain the very rare appearance of Tchouamni or Hazard on a grim night and with more risk than glory. Ancelotti detected it, who withdrew the Frenchman and Militao at halftime in search of more energy with Rdiger and Valverde. There was no immediate effect. The team was still stuck.

They are not going to believe that the cacereo I was looking for the ball and little else. No. Despite the dismal state of the green, tried to lower the ball, circled and looked for the surprise on the opposite side, especially with Gomis, which came in a couple of actions with poison. Of course, with the passing of the minutes it was difficult for the locals to withdraw with the same order as at the beginning. Odriozola left, injured due to lack of rhythm, but the key swap came later. Hazard left, scolded for walking away -or for the show offered, who knows- to let Álvaro, a battering ram, enter. The entry of the youth squad led to Rodrygo on the left, his favorite sector, the one that Vinicius owns. Well, there, on the first ball that came to him, control at the peak of the area, he summoned Aguado and Claus, sorted them with a one-two and crossed with a thread to the net. Great goal. Goes drew Pel’s celebration, although the best possible tribute is to sign such extraordinary goals.
Cacereo did not give up, looking for the air he lacked in changes, although it is true that he was left unconvinced. Madrid hardly suffered in the remaining minutes, controlling the game in midfield. Beyond a complex loan from Vallejo, Lunin had hardly any complications in his area. Just enough, Madrid was planted in the round of 16.
