Liga, Real Madrid-Real Sociedad 4-1: Oyarzabal, Camavinga, Modric, Benzema and Asensio

Seventh useful result in a row and eight lengths of advantage over direct rivals. Real Madrid’s race in the lead of La Liga continues undisturbed, increasingly in Madrid colors thanks to the clear success of Ancelotti’s troops on Real Sociedad and the draw collected on Friday by Sevilla. The Blancos jumped at the opportunity without trembling after Oyarazabal’s lightning disadvantage, taking the victory thanks to two goals in time. A tallow first Camavinga and Modric, then Benzema (on a penalty) and Asensio’s final leg. The Frenchman increasingly “Pichichi” with 20 goals.

EMERGENCY IN THE MIDDLE

–

While in the Casa Blanca we are already thinking about the crucial European match on Wednesday against PSG, Ancelotti must instead solve a complicated puzzle in the middle of the field already starting from the match against the Basques: the unavailability of Kroos and Valverde, blocked in the infirmary, requires choices and decisions in any case risky, but the Madrid bench guarantees talent in abundance. In fact, alongside Modric and Casemiro, the Emilian coach can count on Camavinga, not surprisingly the protagonist of the Madrid recovery after a first half hour uphill. The usual forward ballot between Asensio and Rodrygo this time is won by the Brazilian, who accompanies the two immovable Benzema and Vincius.

RIMONTA LAMPO

–

It was said of Camavinga, good at being ready and daring when he has the opportunity, like the one that happens to him on the left in the 39th minute: brief look at Remiro, sharp blow at half height and ball inside the edge of the pole for the equalizer . Yes, because the Basques had benefited from a penalty after just 10 ‘(foul by Carvajal on Silva) freezing the Bernabeu with Oyarzabal, after which a long monologue by the hosts. But you need the left foot of the French midfielder to give the right shock to a troop that until then had become dangerous only with two ideas from Rodrygo and Casemiro. Camavinga’s draw marks the turning point not only in terms of territorial supremacy, but also in terms of opportunities. From that moment, in fact, the Blancos built five more scoring, managing to complete the comeback before even going to rest. The credit goes to Modric, who after serving the equalizer in Camavinga takes charge of overtaking with a billiard shot from outside the area: left on the far post and Remino beaten for the second time within 4 ‘.

BENZEMA AND FINAL POKER

–

From 40 ‘onwards, the Blancos change gears also because a Benzema, sleepy until then, bursts into the challenge. In the next half hour, however, the Frenchman scores two goals canceled for millimeter offside and three clear goal chances. Madrid no longer limited itself to shooting from distance, but began to find prairies to break through in the opponent’s area. To keep the Basques in the game, who rarely cross the median, are only the saves of Remiro (two decisive on Modric and Benzema). But in the meantime the Blancos find the “feeling” with the Var, which, after having removed two goals from Benzema, delivers a penalty for a clear foul by Aritz on Vinicius: Benzema’s precise right and the game is over. The surrender of Real Sociedad is in fact total, so much so that a few minutes later Asensio’s poker arrives (convenient deviation in the center of the area) on a back assist from Carvajal. Now head to the Champions League.
