He Real Madrid This Saturday they beat Cdiz (3-0) thanks to the goals by Brahim Daz in the 51st minute, by Jude Bellingham in the 68th and by Joselu Mato in the 94th and did his part of winning and waiting for the result of the match between Girona and Barcelona to certify his 36th league title, in a match played at the Santiago Bernabu against a team from Cádiz that, with four rounds left to play, will continue to see salvation at least five points.
Carlo Ancelotti made the plan clear from the beginning. Massive rotations, with only Nacho Fernndez repeating in the eleven compared to the one who tied 2-2 in Germany last Tuesday. The mind was set on the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday. With the League title being a matter of time, it was inevitable.
A time that Real Madrid did its part to ensure that it was met as soon as possible. That’s right, without much hurry. The first half was consumed without rhythm and with only one chance of danger, which was for Cádiz. The visitors, eager to add to get closer to getting out of the relegation spots, a goal that before starting the game at the Santiago Bernabu they were five points away from, opted for a defensive game and threatened space.
With that plan, in the 32nd minute, Rubn Sobrino won the melee against a der MIlitao still lacking rhythm and stood one-on-one with Thibaut Courtois, who returned to the playing fields for 268 days and two head injuries. knee later, but Nacho Fernández, correcting quickly and diving to the ground, ruined the chance.
At Real Madrid, low pace and only with Brahim Daz and Arda Gler – in his first start at the Santiago Bernabu – left flashes of quality, but without concretizing the actions. The other way of attack was crosses to Joselu Mato, but between the goalkeeper Conan Ledesma and the center backs they anticipated the possible shots from the Spanish international.
After the break, the protagonists repeated themselves. Militao, soft in control and passing, conceded a one-on-one in the 50th minute to Chris Ramos that Courtois won, showing that he has returned to full fitness.
And just a minute later, Brahim, in another individual action, turning from the front and shooting with his right leg into the top corner, made it 1-0. A match script that, yes, was reminiscent of past seasons when Courtois made a goal-value save and shortly afterward Real Madrid did not forgive.
A goal that did not make the Cdiz He would change his plan, but he did allow Real Madrid to dominate the game at will with the ball at his feet and allowed Ancelotti to take advantage of the match to give confidence to a player who lacked it despite his good numbers this season.
Jude Bellingham, whom Carletto defended at a press conference for his poor performance in Munich, blaming it on an “intestinal virus,” took the field in the 65th minute and only took three minutes to score.
Assist from Brahim, once again contributing to a goal, and Bellingham, reaching the area from behind, a characteristic that he had lost in the last matches by playing further forward, making it 2-0. His 22nd goal this season and 18th in LaLiga EA Sports, fighting to be the competition’s top scorer.
A goal that, despite the game being decided, Joselu Mato continued pursuing until the end. And he got it. Before added time he hit the post and it had to be in the 94th minute when he celebrated his 14th goal of the season, finishing into an empty goal at the far post after an assist from Nacho Fernndez.
Three points for a Real Madrid that did its part to be champion this Saturday, for which it needs Barcelona not to win on its visit to Montilivi that starts at 6:30 p.m. If Xavi’s men win, the alirn will be delayed, at least, until next Saturday.
A result that, on the other side of the coin, leaves Cdiz having to recover at least five points with 12 at stake to avoid relegation and looking at the results of Celta de Vigo and Mallorca in their respective games to do the math.
