They didn’t have a bad play even. They had 2 goals without reply from Girona and was dominant all game. That’s what you would expect of a Real Madrid team and that’s what they delivered as well. More goals; possible but 2 goals is enough as well.
The fans wasn’t held back on honoring Carvaja with a cheer when he was flashed on camera and even with Jude Bellingham being out, he was so impressed with his team especially, Luka’s goal that got the entire stadium gasping for breath.
To win the match, Real Madrid actually only needs 1 goal and survive until the end of the match without conceding. But when a team can score more than 1 goal, the chances of winning can increase even though the opposing team can score a goal in return. I think Real Madrid tried to score more goals in that match, but Girona played quite well in defense. But that's not a problem, 2-0 is enough to keep Barcelona at a distance.
The 3 favorite teams from La Liga finally managed to win without conceding a goal this week. As a result, the points gap between Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid has not changed, but next week's match may be more difficult.
- Real Betis vs Real Madrid
- Atletico Madrid vs Ath Bilbao
- Barcelona vs Real Sociedad
But before that match, there is a Copa Del Rey semifinal match that is worth waiting for. Barcelona will play Atletico Madrid, while Real Madrid will play Real Sociedad. Copa del Rey semifinals with home away format, I think El Clasico in the final can be expected.
