Real Madrid does not release the song. 24 hours after the huge success of Barça Getafe (6-0), the Merengue answered Blaugrana Wednesday on behalf of the 34th day of Liga. The people of Madrid have not made the same panache as their rivals, but they did the job. Their victory against Almeria (3-0) enables them to remain two points behind the Catalan leader in the standings and still cherish the hope of a 33rd league title in Spain in late season.
Carlo Ancelotti will be content, both players have made a copy tasteless face the 17th Liga, to the struggle for its retention in the elite. Still without Gareth Bale, Luka Modric and Karim Benzema, Real must yearn to find them quickly. Without them, it really does not have the same return. The first half hour came confirmation. No movement (or so little), nonexistent offensive combos and an inability to project forward quickly: this is the spectators who saw Santiago Bernabeu.
It is ultimately James Rodriguez who lit the light for Real. In a splendid volley from the left, the Colombian international has housed the ball under the bar (1-0, 45th) and confirmed its ability to score goals all the more sublime than the other. After opening the scoring just before the break, the people of Madrid have made the break from the restart. Under pressure from Cristiano Ronaldo, Mauro Dos Santos pushed a center of Toni Kroos deep into his own net (2-0, 49th). No fortieth goal in La Liga for the Portuguese, but a big sigh of relief for his family.
Because if Almeria has never put to a tenured Keylor Navas in order to breathe Real Iker Casillas, Merengue have rarely seemed so borrowed this season. So of course, they still weighed down by Alvaro Arbeloa adding, served by Javier Hernandez (3-0, 84th). But the score is not in line with the level of production. Only potential attraction of the evening, Martin Odegaard included in the pro squad for the first time this season, remained stuck on the bench. Real Madrid has not had a memorable evening on Wednesday. Except that when doing the accounts, it will be worth three points. And therein lies the key to the time the final sprint.
