Real Madrid is no longer moving forward. Traveling to Elche, the Madrid club had a third match in a row without a victory. Beaten by Liverpool (1-0) in the Champions League then forced into a draw (0-0) by Rayo Vallecano in La Liga, Xabi Alonso’s men once again had to settle for a new draw (2-2), Sunday, at the end of the 13e
La Liga day.
Trailing twice, the Madrilenians preserved the essential thanks to Dean Huijsen and Jude Bellingham and pushed in added time to snatch the victory. Without success. Enough to visibly annoy Kylian Mbappé.
As soon as the final whistle blew, the French world champion rushed at the referee of the match, Francisco José Hernández Maeso, and let his frustration explode. According to the daily AS, the former Parisian criticized the referee for not having given enough additional time despite the eight minutes granted. His anger did not remain without consequences since he received a yellow card.
Three new moves to come for Real Madrid
And the Bondynois could have been all the more frustrated since he had a third match in a row without a goal with Real Madrid. His last achievement in the Merengue jersey dates back to 1er November and his double scored against Valencia. On Sunday, the former Monegasque had several opportunities but came up against a very good Inaki Pena, the former Barça goalkeeper, who repelled several of his attempts.
“It’s football. We had good momentum, today we had a string of results that didn’t suit us. We’re not happy because we still want to win, but there are still a lot of matches left.”reacted Xabi Alonso after the meeting, ensuring that the state of mind “stay good”.
Real Madrid will try to return to victory this Wednesday during their Champions League trip to Olympiacos. In La Liga, the Merengue will make two new trips, on the lawns of Girona and Athletic Bilbao.
