Real Madrid qualify for the knockout stage of the Champions League – Real Madrid – La Liga

In advance, the Roma and Real Madrid have qualified for the eighth finals of the Champions League. It was important to know which team would take first place. He became Real Madrid after the second half.

Configuration of the Real Madrid team:

Cortouis

Carvajal – Varane – Ramos – Marcelo

Modric – Llorente – Kroos

Vazquez – Benzema – Bale

First half

It was a slow first half where nothing happened. Bolltempot was low and Real could not in any way threaten the offensive. This was not a Real Madrid with confidence and this seemed to some players. But a player who was in the first period was Marcos Llorente. Ceballos could not resist the press of Eibar and won very few other balls, where there was a significant difference compared to what Llorente had managed to do. Llorente won other balloons and gave the team a completely different stability. This was the big exclamation point of Real Madrid and, more than that, it was not the case. It's actually Rome that has had the best chance and no one can yet understand how Cengiz missed an open defense goal. A first half pretty rejected Real Madrid. The transformations did not unfold as they were, they were too boring. There was no interest there either on the posts and there was really no offensive player that could threaten in any way. It is understandable that both teams were on, but that still does not excuse statistics. Real Madrid scored 3 shots in the first half with one shot in the box. Roma had 10 shots in total and 8 inside the penalty area, all said well.

Second half

Of course, the second half started with a goal. Delete all statistics from the first half. Robin Olsen does not get a good match and Fazio makes a sly eyeball to Basel and Waleser pushes the cold head for Real Madrid, 0-1 for the marble. Shortly after, Marcelo sent a fine ball to Bale in the depths, but this time, Robin Olsen was on his guard. The second half started really well for Real Madrid. The players woke up in the second half, as indicated, in the 58th minute, the time had come. Bale finds Benzema in the box, Benzema nods to Lucas Vazquez who can pet 0-2. All this happened via a good conversion and the counter-attack was suddenly a thousand times faster. The Roma never entered, Real Madrid killed the second half. They controlled the game in the second half and everyone wants to see him. It is important to take care of their chances, otherwise Rome would have created problems for the nursery.

statistics:
possession: 42% – 58%
shots: 12 – 10
Shot at goal: 5 – 8
corners: 6 – 5
: free kicks 17 – 13
Off-side: 0 – 7
saves: 6 – 5

Player evaluation:

Cortouis – 4. A stable match of the Belgian, saving Real Madrid in the first half of the basic position. Make beautiful parades.

Carvajal – 4. Closer to him and it's wonderful that the Spanish is back. Always give 110% for the club brand, whatever happens. Cool fan.

Marcelo – 3.5. Do what he is supposed to do and sometimes, Marcelo offers a show as he can. As always, he is well on the offensive.

Ramos / Varane – 3. Both are fine but occasionally they flee for Real Madrid. So it will be difficult for the duo then. Varane is still not the Varane that we usually see. But both are approved for 90 minutes but they are much better.

Llorente – 4.5. He gets the highest score because he has barely played all season. Enter a match like this and do it well. Win other balls, which is so important when Rome puts the high pressure. Real was stable with Llorente in the field, pointing to the end.

Modric – 3.5. Tonight, the throat was good. In the second half especially, he gets up and shows how good he can be. Must continue on the same track he played in the second half.

Kroos – 3.5.Stable effort of the German. It is very important for Real Madrid, when Kroos is doing well, Real Madrid is doing well.

Ball – 3.5. The ball mixes and gives. Urusel in the first period, but then he is attentive to the errors of Fazio and is also involved in the second goal. Found surface in the second half and then it is really good.

Benzema – 3.5. Do not make a good first half, but he tried to make sense of something. In others, he gets up like the whole team. Stand by the goal of Lucas Vazquez.

Vazquez – 4. Vazquez gets the highest rating from me tonight. The Spanish is not the best in the world, but you know exactly what to buy. He makes a goal and runs constantly. He was in a hurry tonight.

Hala Madrid Y Nada Mas!
