Real Madrid hit hard in the 22nd minute against Espanyol, on the occasion of the 5th day of Liga thanks to a spectacular gesture of its central defender. Upon receipt of a well -balanced pass from Federico Valverde, Eder Militão did not procrastinate: a dry, pure strike, triggered outside the surface and sent directly in the skylight. A cannon of a rare violence, which instantly raised the Santiago Bernabéu and left the caretaker of Espanyol Barcelona helpless.
This exceptional goal perfectly illustrates the rise of the 27-year-old Brazilian, capable of making the difference far beyond his defensive qualities. With this goal, the Brazilian international signed one of the most memorable goals of this start to the season. Returning from the cross ligaments last season, Militão is now asserting himself as an indisputable holder for Xabi Alonso.
