MADRID CAME BACK FROM 0-2 WITH CONTROVERSY
The VAR gives Real Madrid the comeback against an indignant Almería (3-2)
The VAR was the protagonist in Real Madrid's return to LaLiga, in a match in which they started losing 0-2 and in which they 'benefited' with a penalty, a goal disallowed for the rival and a goal validated after a possible handball
Madness, VAR and surprise have been the ingredients of the return of the Real Madrid to LaLiga after the brief 'stop' by the Supercopa and Glass of Rey. The ones of Carlo Ancelotti lost 0-2 in the rest, but by 'divine intervention' and salvation by part of the referee, achieved to sign the tables in a party in which 'slept' in the first-half and reacted in the resumption, against the colista. Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr were the attendants to equalise the marker after the initial goals of Ramazani and Edgar.
The surprises have not detained for a Real Madrid that, in the month of January, has fit eleven goals between all the competitions and that has showed a defensive fragility that, in the beginning of season, did not exist. The defence of the merengues was being one of the strong points of a team that only has known the defeat in two occasions -both against the Athletic in the Cívitas Metropolitan-, but that now needs adjust by part of Carlo Ancelotti, because even the colista of LaLiga has found eases for 'break' the arch of Kepa Arrizabalaga.
And it is that, while in the terracings of Santiago Bernabéu still celebrated the presentation of the title of Supercopa of Spain, to the 38 seconds of the meeting a defensive error 'fat' of the Madrid, with Nacho Fernández like protagonist, Sergio Arrive took advantage of to play with Robertone so that it filtered the balloon to a Ramazani that, confining alone in the field, nmandó a finish to the short stick to surpass to the guardameta Spanish. It was a touch of attention for a group 'merengue' that did not have capacity of surprise for an Almería very very planted in his defence.
Madness almeriense in the Bernabéu
To the White House cost him horrors generate occasions of face to the area of Maximiano that, in spite of that the rival handled the balloon, did not have capacity to surprise and that could not 'change' the rhythm to settle in the rival area and concern to a picture almeriense that, even, was able of 'concern' to Kepa with a finish uncomfortable of Sergio Arrive. The ones of Carlo Ancelotti, that left to the rest without shots to the three sticks, only generated 'danger' from the corners and were not sufficient for 'avoid' the whistles of a Bernabéu exasperado.
The fault of forcefulness and defensive gifts went back to notice to the edge of the rest, when after a bad clear of Nacho -the most distinguished of the crash-, Édgar did with the spherical to command the balloon to the deepest of the network with a powerful finish from out of the area that left colder to the Madrid and that desató the ire of the afucionados from the terracings. It became a 'caldero' that forced to the trainer of Reggiolo has to change it everything for the second half. Nacho, Rodrygo and Mendy were the 'signalled' that remained in the changing room.
The VAR goes out to the rescue of the Madrid
The 'get angry' of Ancelotti was big, because the madridistas jumped to the field with another entirely distinct face. So much so, they had not happened ten minutes when the main referee signalled a penalti in favour of the venues by a hand of Kaiky in a dispute between the player almeriense with Joselu. Jude Bellingham did not fail from the eleven metres and gave hope to a Real Madrid that saw as, once again, Sergio Arrive did effective the law of the ex for 'clear' the clash, but from the VAR called -for the second time- so that it reviewed the goal by a manotazo previous to Jude Bellingham in the beginning of the played.
The goal did not go up to the marker, in the 62', and began the surrealism in the Bernaéu, because five minutes afterwards Vinicius Jr marked the tie. Maseo Cancelled the goal by hand (or fault?) Of the Brazilian in the action, but from the VAR went back to call to the main referee so that it reviewed with what had finished the '7'. The third review of the afternoon finish with a new decision in favour of the madridistas: it Understood that it touched the shoulder to surpass to Maximiano.
Final trepidante of the Madrid-Almería of LaLiga
The true is that the madness desató in the Bernanéu. Garitano Finish exasperated by the referee's decisions and the 3-2, that supposed the traced back, could arrive in the 76' with Bellingham again of protagonist: Fran García advanced and arrived almost until background line for the finish of the English, but the ex of the Ray split in position irreglamentaria. The Madrid had to go out in tow to avoid the 'prick'. The occasions rained, but without fortune. The first cooked it between Brahim Díaz and Vini Jr, but the finish final of the international with Brazil was braked by Maximiano. Afterwards it was the '5' that tested luck with a Chilean sensacional, but the balloon left him brushing the stick. It was not sufficient.
