Thanks in particular to Rodrygo’s double, Real Madrid won easily this Sunday on the Cádiz pitch (0-3, 14th day). The Merengues temporarily regain the lead in La Liga.
The international break was obviously managed perfectly by Real Madrid. Two weeks after its last match, Carlo Ancelotti’s team traveled to Cadiz this Sunday. And Jude Bellingham’s partners did the job by winning without trembling against the sixteenth in the Spanish championship (0-3). Double-scorer in this meeting, Rodrygo largely contributed to his team’s success.
Vinicius Junior still injured and absent, the Brazilian took responsibility and opened the scoring after a quarter of an hour of play with a personal action (0-1, 14th). Enough to allow his team to return to the locker room with a goal in advance. A meager but logical step forward for the Merengueeven if Cádiz was not unworthy during the first act, shooting more than his opponent (8 shots to 7) and targeting as many (2), without finding the fault.
Scorer, then passer
This flaw was once again the Madrilenians who found it shortly after the hour mark, again through a decidedly inspired Rodrygo, and this time well served by Modric (0-2, 64th). Two goals for the Auriverde international, then an assist offered to the inevitable Jude Bellingham, at the start of the last quarter of an hour of regulation time (0-3, 74th). Enough to definitively knock out a Cádiz team that is far too limited this Sunday to respond to opposing attacks and goals.
In the provisional classification, and while awaiting the result of its runner-up, Girona, which will host Athletic Bilbao on Monday, Real Madrid alone occupies the head of the La Liga classification, with one unit in advance. As for Cádiz, it remains sixteenth, with two points ahead (and a game less) over Celta Vigo, first relegated.
