Measured duel real Madrid and for Vallecano Rail accumulated all The feeling in the previous and last minutes of the match. In these gestures, messages and banners that try to stage the hero’s position in the face of racism. After the ball rolled, a low goal from Benzema opened the score in the first half. And in the final stage, a dry shot from RDT and Rodrygo’s great play rounded out a well-deserved local victory with a pre-season flavor on the scoreboard.
With Vinicius sitting in the penalty area to the right of Florentino Pérez, a game was played that served to convey a clear message: There is no place for racism in Spanish football. It is now something that must be confirmed by facts, judgments and sanctions. and that it does not remain in a well-meaning message as it is empty. In this atmosphere, which is somewhere between dedicated and festive, two teams were measured, often giving compelling plays with lots of goals and more chances.
Benzema’s goal
Ancelotti chose a hybrid eleven up front with recognizable faces like Benzema, Modric, Rodrygo, Kroos or Valverde, the oddest of which was Rudiger’s bet as a left-back. El Rayo went out with its eleven premiere to try to stick with its struggle to stay in the European competition. And the game came out audaciously with lots of back and forth. There were opportunities in both goals where Courtois and Dimitrevski worked. up to half an hour Kroos mischievously took advantage of a neutral dribble to serve Valverde and Benzema, who limped past the opposing goalkeeper and put Madrid ahead. Before the open protests of Vallecanos.
The relaxed atmosphere of the match was preserved in the second part. Insolence rather than intensity at a meeting where this was clearly reflected As both teams finished the season, beyond the Whites’ heartbeat for Atlético for the 2nd place, or the runners are reluctant to lower their deadlines in the fight to get to the Conference League.
Orphans of the joy of Vinicius
Although there were many visits to the regions, there were not many opportunities. The pulse of the whites, orphans of Vinicius’ joy, quickened as the ball reached Modric or Rodrygo’s feet. In the Vallecas neighborhood, Álvaro García and Trejo gained weight as the minutes passed. The match was tense and the uncertainty of the score offered a feeling that tied the audience to the duel in which Ancelotti and Iraola were so involved.
Ceballos and Asensio’s departure gave the white attack some air, but the Rayista goalkeeper was still just a spectator. There was no sense of danger, but restlessness. And so the minutes flowed to the end in a match without the sweet-watering offensive aggression. Madrid took the win for sure, while RDT equalized with a hard blow from between Tchouameni’s legs in the 82nd minute. The goal, which Rodrygo responded minutes later, crowned a good personal move to set the clash. Lacking the fangs of a Vinicius who football shouldn’t have dared to sit in the box instead of playing on the field, those of Ancelotti were winning.
