The white team defeated Almería 1-2 in its debut in the League and now has 14 seasons without defeat in the first game of the season in the League
Begin with good footReal Madrid seems to have that motto engraved on fire, although they do not always defend the League title. The Whites accumulated their fourteenth consecutive season starting without losing in the domestic championship.
This streak of 14 years is the second longest in team history followed by another that lasted 16 years and that also featured Real Madrid, who achieved it in a period between 1961 and 1976. The meringues had to roll up their sleeves to get out victorious from Almeria.
they marked Lucas Vázquez and Alaba giving Ancelotti his fifth win as Whites coach after coming to half-time with an adverse score. Almería went ahead to 1-0 with both from Ramazanie, but it was clear that this had a rather dark future in the face of the white siege.
We talked about Real Madrid shooting on goal up to seven times in the first half, a barbaric fact, turning goalkeeper Fernando Martínez into a hero. Benzema was the one who was most involved and misguided in all those playing, showing that even future Ballon d’Or winners can have a bad day.
Praise to the squad
The best of the match was a Vinicius who overflowed at will throughout the match, leaving as a curious fact that he was substituted. To Ancelotti, however, you can’t reproach and he touched his first ball of the game, it was a sovereign goal from a direct free kick.
Since 1991, an Austrian had not scored a free-kick goal in the league. This is the famous scorer for Sevilla, Logroñes and Rayo among others, Anton Polster, who preceded a David Alaba who came out and kissed the saint. Real Madrid had not scored a foul in the League since January 13, 2019 when Dani Ceballos scored against Betis.
This triumph allows Real Madrid to beat Almería in what is known as the duel of champions. Only in 1986 had the First League champions against the Second League champions seen each other on the first day of the League. It was won 1-3 by Real Madrid against Real Murcia and the ‘honorary title’ will continue to be held by the white club until the next occasion.
