At the end there was not miracle for the Real Madrid in LaLiga. The merengues remained to the door of the championship and finish the season without titles. This Saturday, in Alfredo Gave Stéfano, achieved a traced back 'in extremis' in front of the Villarreal, with a goal of Luka Modric in the last sigh of the party to keep the illusion to the end.
The Madrid topó in front of a Villarreal that was 'practising' for the final of the Europe League, this Wednesday in front of the Manchester United, and suffered more than the expected in the party. The ones of Unai Emery wanted to carry the three points of the capital and jumped to the field to dominate, with a lot of presence in the area of Thibaut Courtois. To the twenty minutes of party, the superiority of the 'yellow submarine' had his effect.
Yeremy Mino Controlled in the area in front of Odriozola and took advantage of of the hole that had left the defence madridista in the area, to define of luxury in front of a Courtois that little could do to avoid the so much. The Madrid exasperated and, as it happened him in several opportunities in this season, lacked creativity and speed in the field, in front of a Villarreal that followed firm.
Karim Benzema, however, did not want to leave the things as they were and added to the attack. The French commanded the balloon to Luka Modric, that found a gap to finish, but his shot left was. In the 43', the Villarreal brushed the second so much of the afternoon, after a finish of Bacca that was blocked of miracle in the area.
Benzema And Modric, the 'salvavidas' of always
In the second part, the Madrid tried to propose without too much danger. In the 55', Karim Benzema celebrated his goal but was cancelled by offside. The French had finished of head a centre of Casemiro in the area, but finished finish with the joy of the ones of Zinedine Zidane.
The madridistas did not find in the field and, if the Villarreal had been to 100%, would have finished with goleada against. It did not go until the minute 87 that Benzema, again and as always, dressed of hero. The Frenchman hunted the balloon in the fontal, looked for the square and nailed his shot far of the scope of Rulli, when more it was suffering his team.
The history did not finish like this and Luka Modric signed the traced back in the last sigh of the party to say him to the world that the Madrid fulfilled and did not die in the bank without struggling. The Croat received the balloon the area after touching the centre of Benzema in a rival defender, to shoot with the left-handed and beat to Rulli. It did not serve of at all, this yes, because the Athletic had achieved the victory in front of the Valladolid to proclaim champion of LaLiga Santander 2021-2022.
