He Real Madrid He achieved what is his 27th victory in the League in 34 games and took a step, which would be definitive if Barça does not beat Girona, to lift the League title. All of this in a match that perfectly summarizes the league season for Ancelotti’s side, managing to score their 18th clean sheet in the championship, and in which they were accurate in the rival area.
The afternoon was round for the whites, who were able to reserve important players such as Bellingham, Vinícius, Valverde, Kroos, Rodrygo and Rüdiger, the first three with minutes, ahead of next Wednesday’s match against Bayern Munich, to which was added the great news of the return of Thibaut Courtois, who played his first minutes of the season with a great performance.
The match did not start with much rhythm, although it did have clear dominance of possession by the white team, and only the young Arda Güler suggested imbalance in the first minutes. We had to wait until the 10th minute of the match for the team’s first shot on goal. Real Madrid. Faced with a well-established Cadista defense in a low block, Militao tried his luck from medium distance, forcing the intervention of Ledesma.
Far from plugging into Real Madrid In the match, the occasion awakened a Cádiz team that in the following stages enjoyed possession of the ball more, going so far as to sneak past Courtois’ goal, although without danger. The tone changed halfway through the first half, in which a great addition to the attack on the right side by Zaldua caused the Basque to gain a baseline and put a great ball for Chris Ramos’ shot, which he was not able to direct. the ball between the three sticks in a free position.
The lack of Madrid tension was evident on the pitch and a dispute between Militao and Rubén Sobrino ended in scare for the whites. The Cádiz winger went one-on-one with Courtois, but Nacho, with a providential cut, avoided the shot by sending the ball to the corner. It was the second warning from a Cádiz that grew as the minutes progressed. However, the locals pressed in the last quarter of an hour of the first half, making Ledesma work, especially with hanging balls from the wings, but none clear enough to move the score into the break.
The passage through the locker room felt good to Real Madrid, who in shots by Güler and Carvajal, both from outside the area, made the Cadista goalkeeper intervene. Moments later the great ovation of the day would arrive at the Santiago Bernabéu. Courtoiswho after a serious mistake by Militao, took a one-on-one match with Chris Ramos to prevent Cádiz from scoring, to which the public responded by chanting for their goalkeeper.
It would be the prelude to Carlo Ancelotti’s team’s goal. In the 52nd minute, the ball reached Brahim on the left side, close to the top of the area. From there, the Andalusian traced the diagonal to end up hitting the ball, with a shot with his right leg, into the corner of Ledesma’s goal. The match was very difficult for the merengue team, which gave the almost definitive blow to the League.
The goal blurred Cádiz in the match, which seemed like a ‘toy’ in the hands of the Real Madrid. Thus, the final finishing touch to the match was put in the 68th minute by Jude Bellingham. The Englishman, who had taken the field only three minutes earlier to replace an applauded Güler, took advantage of a great play inside the area between Modric and Brahim to score his 18th goal of the season with a ‘pass to the net’, and incidentally shorten the distance with Dovbyk for the ‘Pichichi’.
