Gerona 2-0 Real Madrid.
In less than 30 minutes the home team is leading Real Madrid already with two early goals scored by Valentin Castellanos. This will be a big advantage for Barcelona who is already ahead of the Madrid team with
11 points and a game in hand to play which they are sure of winning to extend the points to 14 points if Madrid end up losing this match tonight.
Do you see Real Madrid coming back in this match? Let's discuss.
The Real Madrid team can be considered weak without Benzema. Real Madrid conceded two goals in just 24 minutes. And at the end of the first half, Real Madrid trailed 2-1. Vini managed to score a goal. Real Madrid had 77% ball possession. However, Madrid trailed 2-1. Madrid's defenders should have performed more carefully in the second half, if Madrid's defense is weak, then Madrid is more likely to lose this match. So far my guess is that this match will be a draw. Losing against Girona would be a shame for Madrid.
I believe that Real Madrid's lack of interest in La Liga is evident in their recent performance against Girona, which has nothing to do with Benzema. Despite playing without any wingers, Girona managed to score 4 goals against Madrid, with just attacking midfielders supporting their striker. This indicates a failure on the part of Madrid's defensive midfielders and midfielders to hold down the opposition's attack. Madrid's potential loss to Girona after 2 seasons is a clear indication that they are not willing to invest their energy in La Liga, conceding four goals from a single player is a big slap on Real Madrid.
I think Rodrygo is not too good as a striker, he has been more of a right winger to Real Madrid, he is not versatile like Benzema which is why I think it is high time they find an alternative for Benzema anytime he doesn't play as a result of Injury, a team depending on a single striker is a ticking time bomb to the team.
