As part of the 30th day of Liga, Real Madrid, second in the championship at the start of three points behind FC Barcelona, ​​welcomed Valence, sixteenth despite a series of four unbeaten matches. At the Santiago BernabĂ©u, the Madrilenians had to prevail so as not to get further away from the title and presented themselves in 4-3-3 with the young Fran Gonzalez holder in the cages, in the absence of courtesy and lunin. In front, Kylian MbappĂ© was associated with Vinicius Junior and Brahim Diaz. On the visitors' side, Carlos Corberan opted for a defensive 5-3-2. A meeting that was not long in getting carried away …
Launched in depth, Mbappé was destabilized by Tarrega and obtained, after viewing the images, the penalty. Issue ? Vinicius Jr was completely missing and saw his attempt pushed by Mamardashvili (13th). A failure that would cost merengues dearly since Valence finally opened the scoring in stride. On a corner, Diakhaby rose higher than everyone and deceived Gonzalez with a powerful head (0-1, 15th). Surprised, Real went back to the offensive and was not long in reacting. On a harmless sequence, Diakhaby sent the ball into his own nets and conceded the equalization. Fortunately for him, his CSC was finally canceled for an offside position of Mbappé at the start of the action (22nd).
Vinicius catches up, imprecise mbappé
Jubbed, Modric's teammates were playing scary and lacked offensive efficiency. At the end of the first period, Mbappé tried to sound the revolt but lacked precision (34th, 45+2nd) or saw his strikes diverted by a large Mamardashvili (36th). For his part, Bellingham, author of a small festival, placed his strike at the foot of the Valencian amount (42nd). Led at the break, the Merengues finally reacted to the return of the locker room. After a new strike from Mbappé, Vinicius took advantage of a modric corner to equalize and be forgiven by his missed penalty (1-1, 51st). Realistic and relaunched, Real still pushed to take the advantage.
Alerted to the left side of the surface, Bellingham progressed before seeing his left shot diverted by Mamardashvili (52nd). Increasingly threatening, Real continued his business. After a one-two with Garcia on the left side, Mbappé resumed with the end of the foot but the ball was still fleeing the setting (68th). In a state of grace, Mamardashvili offered himself a monumental judgment on a recovery at close range of Valverde (71st). In the last quarter of an hour, Ancelotti launched Alaba, Camavong and Endrick but Real still couldn't. Worse still, on a final against, Hugo Duro, served by Mir, crucified the Real of a head at close range (1-2, 90+5th). In the ranking, Real remains 2nd but leaves the opportunity at Barça to take six lengths in advance in the event of a victory against Real Betis, this Saturday evening.
