another fiasco of Real Madrid, the seventh defeat of the season in the League, just four days before the final of the Copa del Rey that will be played against Osasuna at the La Cartuja Stadium. The whites have kneeled in San Sebastián against a Real society who continues with a firm step in his fight to play the Champions League next season.
Convincing victory for the people from San Sebastian against a team, Carlo Ancelotti’s, who conceded too much. Starting at 1-0, in a goal that Eder Militao gave away. The Brazilian, who is going through one of the worst moments of his career after the big mistakes he made just a week ago in Montilivi against Girona (4-2), slipped and gave the goal on a tray to Take Kubowhile Ander Barrenetxea He sentenced Carlo Ancelotti’s men with the final 2-0 five minutes from time, with a great shot inside the area that surprised Courtois. In between, in the middle of the second part, Dani Carvajal was sent off seeing a controversial second yellow card.
La Real thus broke its losing streak, after four years without knowing what it was like to beat Madrid. And incidentally those of Imanol they throw a cable to Atlético, who this Wednesday will rise to second place if they manage to beat Cádiz at the Cívitas Metropolitano. A confused Madrid without players like Benzema, Vinicius, Modric, Camavinga or Fede Valverde. The latter was in the squad, but he did not play a single minute at the Reale Arena. And it is that Ancelotti pulled rotations seeing everything that comes his way, because after the Cup final on Saturday will come the first leg of the Champions League semifinals against Manchester City, just three days later at the Bernabéu. The Tourmalet begins for the European champion.
Mariano, Asensio, Tchouaméni, Ceballos, Rüdiger, Nacho (captain tonight at Bella Easo)… several novelties in the eleven of Carletto that did not finish working, in another example of a lack of attitude and commitment with almost nothing at stake. Defensive errors and the expulsion of Carvajal condemned a Madrid that clearly went from more to less in San Sebastián. Both teams started very well planted, with their very recognizable systems on the green and without taking too many risks.
La Real began with high pressure, forcing the whites to speed up the movement of the ball. Tchouaméni he dared with a dry kick from 30 meters that Remiro repelled without excessive problems, and the chance he had later was even clearer Military set pieces. The Brazilian central defender rose higher than anyone to head the cross thrown from the corner, but the Real goalkeeper responded again with a prodigious tap.
The carioca, in another irregular match, avoided the local goal by deflecting a shot from the small area of Sorloth. It was just a warning before Zubimendi, just a couple of meters from the goal line, will send the ball to the crossbar after finishing off a previous hairstyle with the toe. Those led by Imanol Alguacil began to boil and, in a ride led by the Norwegian striker, David Silva did not do well with the irregular delivery of the Scandinavian giant. The drive of the locals found its culmination in a possible penalty from Militao on Oyarzabal that neither Pulido Santana nor the VAR saw enough to signal the maximum penalty.
From there, more inaccuracies than certainty, especially in a disoriented Real Madrid without Benzema or Vinicius, living only on a few glimpses of Rodrygo, totally insufficient.
The first goal of the match came as soon as the second part began, after Sorloth pressed and demanded a Militao who slipped and gave inaccurately to Courtois. The Belgian did not arrive on time and the ex-Madridista Take Kubo He opened the can for locals without opposition. The goal caught the whites unprepared, who only stretched after the break with an isolated action by Rodrygo.
For more inri, carvajal, who had initially been booked for protesting, was sent off at game time for a double yellow after a tackle on the San Sebastian winger Aihen Muñoz in which he first swiped the ball. Ancelotti brought on Lucas Vázquez for Kroos to reorganize and give vitality to an uncomfortable team, without much success, despite shouting from their technical area.
Homegrown players Álvaro Rodríguez and Sergio Arribas also had their minutes, but failed to improve the image of a Madrid that, after a dangerous free kick by Mikel Oyarzabal, saw the miraculous victory slip away with the final 2-0 win in Barrenetxea. The Basque attacker took advantage of a ball inside the box to beat Courtois with a hard, low shot inside the box that hit the post. Definitive blow for a Madrid that, after having improved its image in recent weeks, is returning to its old ways in a League that had already been lost for a long time, and that Barça can place next day (weekend 13- May 14) if the whites do not beat Getafe and the culés add the three points in the derby against Espanyol.
Another very different thing is the Champions League and the Cup final, but what is the League, this Madrid of Ancelotti is going to give away one of the cheapest championships in recent years.
