Villarreal team performance was not good, Villarreal team lost by a wide margin while fighting against Real Madrid. Most of the time in this match Real Madrid was in control, I can say from the equation that 60% of the ball was in favor of Real Madrid and the remaining 40% of the ball was in favor of Villarreal team. And Real Madrid attacked the goal post the most and here too there is a wide gap between the two teams. Real Madrid had 22 shots on goal and Villarreal had 3. So there was a huge difference between the two teams on the field of play.
Real Madrid showed their superior power against Villarreal. Real Madrid needed to win that game to return to the to of the league momentarily as Girona are yet to play their game today. Madrid was also playing in the front of their home fans so the win was much expected from them.
Real Madrid managed to achieve an important victory in front of their supporters, their nest play was able to tear apart Villarreal defense. The four goals they managed to score against Villarreal show how fierce they are in their pursuit of victory so they can return to the top of the standings. Even though Real Madrid's position at the top of the standings is not yet secure because Girona has not played their 17th game against Alaves, this victory shows that Real Madrid is still a team that is ready to compete with any team to win the La Liga title.
That's true, Real Madrid remain determine in winning the league this season. They want to capitalize on the poor form of Barcelona this season and win the league. But Girona is becoming a something else. So the win yesterday was really a good one. But now is not yet the time for them to continue staying at the top of the league as Girona will comfortably win in today's game to dislodged Madrid.
