And 6! Author of a full card in the championship since the start of the season and the fall of Olympique de Marseille on Tuesday evening, on the first day of the C1 League phase, Real Madrid chained this Saturday against Espanyol Barcelona. Organized in 4-4-2 with an offensive quartet composed of Vinicius, Mastantuono, Mbappé and Garcia, the men of Xabi Alonso did not force their talent to overcome the Pericos.
Dominators at the outset, the Merengues took control of operations but struggled to be dangerous near the opposing surface. It was finally necessary to wait for Eder Militão's genius to unlock this meeting. Served by Valverde at the entrance to the surface, the Brazilian defender triggered a terrible strike and found the skylight of Marko Dmitrovic (1-0, 22nd).
Mbappé still scorer
Ideally launched, the Real – solid defensively if not inspired offensively – then managed his lead. Just before the break, Mbappé, served by a hitherto discreet junior vinicius, was shortly missing the station wagon (45+2nd). It was only partially given… On the return from the locker room, the French, once again shifted by Vini, armed a clear shot leaving Dmitrovic of marble (2-0, 47th). Released, the Merengues were much more threatening.
On a small ladle in the back of the opposing defense, Mastantuono was very close to offering the double to Mbappé but the latter saw his lob spin above (52nd). In the last half hour of play, Güler made his appearance, Mbappé was still illustrated again, Vinicius Jr found him the post (66th) but the display board no longer evolved. Final score: 2-0. A meeting that will also have allowed Bellingham and Camavonga to make their comeback. In the ranking, Real Madrid confirms its first place temporarily with five points ahead of Barça and … Espanyol.
