Real Madrid: Kroos and an exercise in professionalism on another European night

I changed the order of the factors but the result was the same. This time the goal from Benzema that put the whites ahead came earlier, and the next minute it was the turn of Courtois’ saving save to neutralize the possible equalizer. He rides so much, he rides so much: it all starts with the Belgian goalkeeper and ends with the French attacker, on time for his appointment when the music of the Champions League plays to r

claim to be the best at what they do.

The same as Carvajal, who completed his best game in a long time, overcoming those physical problems

that have been embittering him so much for a good part of the last few seasons… until the European nights arrive. Ah is another one that always appears. Against Chelsea he was decisive in attack, with a perfect cross at 1-0, and forceful and reliable in defence, always anticipating.

By the way, the high pressure of the attackers and the defensive withdrawal of all Madrid are outstanding. In the end it will turn out that in addition to managing egos and joking with the Brazilian children, Ancelotti has the team well worked out. What things.

Then there is the

Vinicius, a separate case. If by itself it is already impossible to stop (unless you are Araujo or they allow you to foul him one following the other until he loses his focus), when he finds a referee who applies the regulations without consideration and takes his defender a card following five minutes , the party begins to break up there inevitably.

Because Vini goes once. And another. And another. And another. Until he drives you crazy, which is what he did last night first with Fofana and then with Reece James.

Right now the Brazilian is an offensive system by itself

, a nuclear button that unleashes panic in the rivals every time it faces. Madrid did not need the pike to get the tie on track. This time I resorted to

an exercise in professionalism, a clean, neat job, applying at all times what the party demanded. And in that the best is always Kroos

, who played once more from the engine room with the match map on his head. Cut and tailoring. London remains. But

Chelsea have to change a lot to turn it around. Starting with an inconsequential Joao Flix.
