Real Madrid won a 1-0 victory in Alaves, who beat the relegation on Sunday afternoon despite the removal of the first half of Kylian Mbappe.
At the end of what Carlo Ancelotti called a “difficult week”, a league loss in Valencia composed by a Champions League humbly against ArsenalReal Madrid’s manager requested a performance to raise his spirits. “I want to see a Madrid capable of recovering our good feelings,” the Italian challenged his players.
Real Madrid came up with three points from Mendizorroza, but not many more “good feelings” after a fractured and burning encounter.
Eduardo Camavinga broke the deadline with a crunchy car from the edge of the box after exchanging passes with Federico Valverde. The Frenchman he beaten had been sent against Arsenal, but it was his highly compatriot, Mbapppewho was given his march orders on Sunday.
Madrid number 9, in form 9, was refused and pursued angry after the opposition, throwing the bottom of his right boot at the brightness of Antonio Blanco in the 38th minute. Even if Mbapping had approached the ball – which he did not do it – this violent action would have had a better chance of punching the white orbe.
Visitors entered the battle mode during the second half, giving up the ball and any initiative attacking to one side that started the day at a point above League relegation zone.
Madrid did not have the first shot of the second half until Alaves reduced to ten men. Manuel Sanchez did not apply the same force as MBAPPE, but sank his breakwaters to Vinicius Junior’s calf, to win a red card in the 70th minute.
The victory, no matter how scratched and uncertain, took Madrid Returning to four points behind Barcelona at the league summit. The couple faced what could be a title title on the second weekend of May and to meet -in the final of the King Cup this month that MBAPPE could miss depending on the severity of their ban.
