Marco Asensio's great goal for the victory of Real Madrid that goes around the world (Video)

Nobody like Carlo Ancelotti knows how his players are to keep ostracizing Gareth Bale and barely counting on Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic, but without Benzema and Vinícius he found punishment for his little faith in rotations. He insisted on the failed trial at San Mamés, with Isco as a ‘false nine’. A flat team, slow with the ball and without movement into space in a worrying first act.

That the leader of the League has been lowering his intimidating factor is a reality. As effective against the greats of the championship as it is irregular against teams that are in other battles. There was no lack of will, but without the electricity of ‘Vini’ and the magic of Benzema, everything becomes predictable. Just a feint from Rodrygo, a long shot from Asensio, Isco’s attempts to achieve an impossible, get closer to the relevance of a 9 like Karim.

Robert Moreno had to decide on the plan that would bring him closer to scoring at the Santiago Bernabéu. Maintain his identity at risk or conform to what worked for teams in his League. Osasuna, Cádiz or Elche tied by joining lines and looking for a counterattack, hoping to get something out of a set piece action. That’s how he ran into Courtois.

Because despite the fact that his first objective was to avoid the Madridista reaction, he was also able to cause damage with speed. Antonio Puertas forgave the first at the start, Uzuni was innocent in the definition five minutes before the break and Neva did not find a door in an action that ended the patience of the stands. Warning whistles and boredom.

The Bernabéu likes vertigo and takes a nap when his team does not step on the opponent’s area frequently. Since Asensio tested Maximiano’s reliability at thirteen minutes, they passed 18 torpor until they woke up with a cross from Carvajal that deflected Neva to the crossbar of his own goal. It gave way to a rush of three arrivals in one minute with Rodrygo shooting into the side of the net and Kroos caressing the crossbar.

The Granada goalkeeper He was firm in the face of powerful shots from Asensio and Isco before a break that forced Ancelotti to react. It was of little use that Isco or Rodrygo stepped on the area against inconsequential lateral centers due to the lack of centimeters, but the first tweak to the plan was the entry of Fede Valverde for Camavinga. The Uruguayan increased the momentum and set the Bernabéu on fire when Mateu signaled a foul due to arm movement in the race when he was going to stand alone against the rival goalkeeper.

He changed the panorama with his delivery, infecting the rest so that by waste was not. Installed in the rival field, they annulled a Granada that could only defend, With speed, associations arrived inside that gradually brought Ancelotti’s team closer to the goal. It was about time.

Rodrygo looked for him without success, still unpublished in the League, and Asensio threw the team behind him. He despaired when Maximiano took a tight one off the post, unleashed when he concocted a magical left foot into the net. ‘Carletto’ had already had to resort to Hazard and Jovic who entered plugged in, wanting to show that they suffer an injustice. After a corner, in a rebound that left the ball to Raba, Militao’s pressure caused it to be stolen and the ball was left dead to a long shot specialist.

Real Madrid had managed to get through a game without two essential players, they had felt powerless and ended up feeling relieved that they had taken an important step. With the wind in his favor he was able to increase the distance, Asensio signing a deserved double, but that was the least of it. With trade the trouble passed.
