Granada-Real Madrid: lineout and champion’s walk

ANDReal Madrid marched through Nuevo Los Carmenes with the authority of champions against Granada, crushed by relegation that had ended two hours earlier. The White team showed the quality of their wardrobe, which kept the momentum on top when the starters failed. Brahim Diaz performed brilliantly in chorus, scoring two goals, the first of which was scored by the star. What did the Moroccan team win? Everyone supported the 21st match, but special mention would go to Güler, who makes a splash as soon as he is given a minute, and Fran Garcia, who abounds in his attacking side. Goal and assist.

Because politeness does not take away courage, recently relegated Granada stood on either side of the dressing room exit, welcoming the league champions in the corridor. The detail of elegance was welcomed by fans, who postponed the massive protest against the Directive. The poor management of the season had been evident for months, as evidenced by the team’s early and inevitable relegation. Sandoval, who is always brave, brought in two strikers to trouble Madrid, Uzuni and Boye. People looking to create a good image at the penultimate event in Los Carmenes. As throughout the season, it was regular.

Only one name was repeated in Ancelotti’s line-up compared to the one he made up against Bayern. Rudiger Rock. Next to the German was Militao, who lacked shooting. He demonstrated this in several sets with Boye, an oriented control artist. Courtois is in the same situation and is hungry for a goal. He took a good shot from Bruno Mendes’ header and reflexively saved Camavinga’s shot. The Belgian chose the best way to open the Wembley final coaching debate. Thibault wants to play it.

The undeniable merit of the least played player in the Madrid League becomes apparent on a hot Granada afternoon. After Joselu’s performance against Bayern, Brahim opened the game just after half an hour, coming in from the right, passing in behind and finishing to Fran Garcia, neatly past Modric. The first and last characters coincided at the beginning and development of the second, on the threshold of a break. Brahim dribbled from the left, opened the ball for Fran, who passed the ball, and Cañoncito Guler struck with his left foot. The game ended on the verge of halftime. And even more so upon returning from the locker room.

Callejon entered through Jozwiak, the most drinkable of the last red and white weeks. The Pole was stunned after colliding with Courtois. He showed pride, but football was Brahim’s responsibility. He blew up the game with a schoolboy play, turning in midfield to clear an opponent, driving forward, breaking up an opponent in the box and placing him near the post. Crack. Ten minutes later he put the finishing touches on a team-wide game that the Malaga man decided by missing Modric’s pass and crossing from close range. What was said. Brahim is luxury.

The fourth pass was one of Luka Modric’s last actions before he was substituted. As is now customary, Kroos went out for the Croatian, firing with Los Carmenes on his feet. Rüdiger also left, having finally rested. Madrid slowed down the pace by one point and still managed to add to the victory. Especially Joselu, desperate not to find Batalla’s weak point. He tried with a heel and a volley, but the goalkeeper was right. There was nothing else. Even Gonzalez Fuertes shortened the local agony by blowing the whistle before the 90th minute. There was almost no dispute. Madrid stood out ahead of the champions’ walk through the streets of Madrid tomorrow.
