A defeat for Real Madrid against Barcelona was enough to commemorate the La Liga title four rounds beforehand, but the meringues did not want to give that pleasure to the rival. This Sunday, at the time of Arbeloa’s visit to Espanyol, in Cornellá, and, with the brilliance of Vinícius Júnior (who scored twice), he won 2 to 0.
As a result, Real remains at 77 points, in the vice-leadership, and remains 11 points behind Barcelona, with four rounds left until the end of the Spanish Championship. On the other side, Espanyol remains in 39th place and 13th place.
A first half of lots of perspiration and little inspiration. With a lot of fight for space, especially not in the midfield, we will twice create few opportunities and abuse fouls.
Nessa trocação, o Espanyol chegou a ter El Hilali expulso, após very hard foul on Vinícius Júnior, but the referee went to the VAR, reviewed the throw and decided on yellow for the player of the commanding team.
The main event of the first stage, even, may be that you have to see some of the adventure events. In the first few minutes, Mendy felt a muscle problem in his hip and hit the defense and had to be replaced.
At the interval, however, Real Madrid adopted a more aggressive stance, began to better accelerate non-attacking plays and, by placing Vinícius Júnior in the game, found the path to victory.
After ten minutes, after the plot on the left side, Gonzalo García receives from Valverde and delivers the ball to Vinícius Júnior, who left two markers on the scoreboard and batted no cantinho, with no chance for the goalkeeper.
Packed with the first goal, the merengue time continued to fit in many transitions on the sides and frame in the second, but once with the Brazilian brilliance. Vini Júnior started left, looked for the table with Bellingham, which he returned from Calcanhar, and, with a beautiful shot in the drawer, two final numbers in Real’s victory: 2 to 0.
