Real Madrid is a disaster. Only a goal in injury time with a shot from Valverde, which rebounded off a Celta defender, prevented the white team from saying goodbye to the League permanently. Play with fire, on the edge of the wire. In Vigo he was on the verge of KO for many minutes, and at the last moment he escaped from the embers. For a rebound. They celebrated it as a great victory because it is the first points they have scored in the last three league games, a result that gives life to Arbeloa’s team and puts pressure on Barcelona, which today visits the complicated San Mamés stadium.
Only luck saved Real Madrid because their game was terrible. They are a band. The sides live uncoordinated, without direction; In the axis of the defense they are tight, in the center of the field they need to make seven passes before offering the ball to a teammate and in attack the absence of Mbappé is very noticeable. All very predictable, very physical, but not very talented. They have no reason to be optimistic or hope for an encouraging future.
Injuries, coaching changes make this team fall apart. He went with 14 players to Balaídos because the team is broken and miracles can happen one week, a second week, but Real Madrid is very far from Barcelona’s level. And your destiny is written.
The calendar that awaits them is also complex because they must face City and then visit Atlético de Madrid. The best thing about Madrid is that it is only one point away and that, in its own way, without overwhelming, They put pressure on Barça in this match at San Mamés where they arrive affected by the injuries of Koundé and Balde. It will be time to discover Xavi Espart. There are many who speak wonders of this player whom Flick himself compared to Lahm, given his versatility. Barça must take a giant step to win the title and leave Madrid with an inch of their nose to show that they will need something more than a miracle like Balaídos.
