TRIUMPH OF AUTHORITY OF MADRID
A very serious Real Madrid does not fail against Celta (2-0) and puts pressure on Barça
Real Madrid has achieved a hard-fought victory in Real Club Celta's visit to the Santiago Bernabéu. The goals from Marco Asensio and Eder Militao pointed the way to a very 'plugged in' White House in this final stretch of the season
The Real Madrid is still in good series and has confirmed his good feelings with a triumph of a lot of authority in front of a Celtic that always is a quebradero of head. The goals of Asensio and Militao defined a very worked party, but also solvent of a White House that seems to be very enchufada in the final stretch of the season... And that puts pressure to the FC Barcelona in the classification.
The Real Madrid received this Saturday to the Celtic in Santiago Bernabéu, few days after having assaulted Stamford Bridge to concretise his classification to the semifinals of the Champions League. With this 'antecedent' so conditioning, Carlo Ancelotti bet for doing a few changes in his alignment to give rest to the heavy weights. The bet was hit, although to the White House touched him work more than the account to direct his triumph.
The madridistas showed a version very convincente and devoted to 'work', shutting to the Celtic in his field and leaving them with very few options to approach to the area of Thibaut Courtois, but without generating sufficient danger further of the started of Vinicius Jr that 'seeded' fear in the visitors, but that were not sufficient to generate clear occasions of goal, by fault of puntería and tarpaulin.
The ones of Carlos Carvalhal, with difficulties, knew to plant face in Santiago Bernabéu, controlling the party in several stretches, but without the 'spark' of Iago Sails or Gabri Veigas as in other nights. They were not having clarity and cost them, maybe more than the account, the phase of creation that, by the way, is one very bad news when you confront you to a Madrid that knows to kill with very little.
Marco Asensio broke the equality... And to fly Militao
After the far shots of Karim Benzema, Dani Ceballos or Marco Asensio, the Majorcan was the attendant to open the marker in the final stretch of the first-half in a played 'made in Madrid' after a pass to the space of Ceballos to a Vinicius that put backwards the balloon, in the area, for the arrival of the '11', that commanded a powerful finish with the left-handed to nail the balloon to the goal.
The Madrid finished the first part with good feelings and gave continuity to his state of grace in the beginning of the second, putting 2-0 very soon. After Fran Beltrán cleared to corner a centre of Nacho Fernández, the sending was hunted by Eder Militãor that went in with a lot of strength, from the point penalti, to finish of head and beat to Villar. It could not do at all it stop to brake the head butt.
The Celtic, in the attempt; p;the Madrid, firm
The goal of Militao, far to cause the resignation of the Celtic, caused that Courtois appeared more in scene. The ones of Carlos Carvalhal tried to remain in the rival area, but the Madrid showed a lot of defensive solidity to avoid get in trouble. Camavinga Dressed of protagonist, to the hour of party, to do a 'tackle' to Iago Sails when it had to attack only.
Afterwards it was Villar the one who was forced to take part, until in a pair of occasions, to avoid that the difference went elder in the electronic. The White House, that adds a new victory, has important symptoms that it has recovered his more solvent version to struggle by all what can in this end of season. Now, presionan with strength to a Barça that, if it does not win to the Athletic, can put in a lot of problems.
