Real Madrid is proclaimed champion of LaLiga Santander after comfortably winning against Espanyol (4-0) who started the match with momentum, but it was diluted as the goals followed one another. Rodrygo, with two goals, was the leader in a team full of substitutes during the first half. Asensio and Benzema culminated the Whites’ win.
With this painful defeat, Espanyol remains anchored in 13th position in the table with 39 points. Elche could beat them if they win against Osasuna.
Diego Lopez (4): Overcome. The Galician goalkeeper did not make any major errors, but he ended up collecting four balls from the bottom of his goal.
Aleix Vidal (6): Protagonist. The former Barça player was brave in the opposite field, managing to generate danger on the right flank. He forced an intervention from Courtois with a great finish. In defense, like his teammates, he did not shine.
Sergi Gómez (4): Inconsequential. The Catalan defender passed unnoticed by the lawn of the Santiago Bernabéu. He was soft in defense and not very participative in the game, since he was the player with the fewest touches on the ball in 90 minutes (29).
Calero (5): Fine. He helped Espanyol in getting the ball out and was very confident in his driving. Additionally, he averaged 95% accuracy on his passes.
Cabrera (5): Correct. The Uruguayan became the most solid member of the Blue and White defense, although Madrid focused its offensive weight on Aleix Vidal’s band.
Melendo (5): Retailer. He left flashes of quality and showed very good decision-making on the passes, but he had offensive weight.
Blacksmith (4). Indicated: He accompanied Darder in the center of the field, but he did not shine as much as his partner. His match, already discreet in itself, was marked by the error in the second goal.
darter (6). Bicentennial. The Majorcan could not celebrate his 200 games as a Blue and White in the way he expected. However, he was one of the biggest danger generators in the match.
Vilhenna (6). Incisor. The Dutch offered a show during the first half. Like the rest of the team, he was diluted with the passing of the minutes.
Handful (5). Shy. The blue and white attacker went, unlike his team, from less to more. He managed to generate danger on the white goal when the game was already sentenced.
Raul de Tomas (6). Atlas. As usual, the Madrid striker carried the offensive weight of Espanyol behind him. The few occasions of danger generated went through his boots.
Substitutions
Moors (5). Frustrated. He entered as part of a triple change, but the revolution devised by Vicente Moreno from the bench did not move to the field. little participatory
Wu Lei (5). anticlimactic. The great revulsion of the last games could not contribute anything different to a sunken Espanyol in the second half. He had a chance in his boots.
Didac (5) Decelerated. He took Vilhena’s place, which was noticeable in Espanyol’s offensive weight. little to note
Merida (5). Attenuated. He jumped wanting to eat the grass, but was carried away by the inertia of his team.
David Lopez (sc). He jumped onto the pitch when the stands were already celebrating the League. He could hardly contribute.
