Milagros, to Lourdes. Madrid remained Madrid, despite the coach's relay and two signings that were already needed in December. Xabi Alonso remedied the absence of Mbappé, sick, with the natural solution, Gonzalo, and his first bet as a white coach was great. Because the canterano marked 1-0 and was declared MVP. The technician remedied with the changes the lazy first part, but he failed again in the auction and forgive a penalty, this time from Valverde. The Hilal began dominating and ended up exploding the backlash to obtain a draw of a lot of merit.
Because the Saudis were better at home. With the Brazilian extremes and the intention of pressing above, Madrid was surpassed by game. Al Hilal has notable players, tanned in high competition: Rubén Neves, Millinkovic-Savic, Koulibaly, Lodi, Bono, Cancelo … They also work as a balanced block, which tries to build Xabi Alonso. After two minutes he had to intervene Courtois after a milinkovic-Savic shot, as if he were in Lazio. Before 20 minutes, Lodi scored, left -handed lane, as if running through the metropolitan. He started offside, but took advantage of the Trent lane, less attentive in defense than when he joined the core with ball. It has good foot and will contribute. A lot.
In white outputs, despite having routilating names, Who more and better offered was Gonzalo, offering and downloading. In the first one that could turn from his own field, he combined with Vinicius, unmarked on the left while the ball traveled on the right and went to finish off Rodrygo's cross center. In semifallo, ok. To the cage. That is what counts.
The 1-0 settled Madrid for a little while. Huijsen has a clinical eye to find vertical passes. He connected with Bellingham and he opened to Gonzalo, but failed control and lost 2-0. We thickest was Asencio's mistake, which was trusted before Marcos Leonardo and granted an absurd penalty. Rubén Neves scored to reward the courage and good game of the Saudi team.
Güler entered after pause. It was not a natural change, because it relieved Asencio. Tchouaméni as central, Valverde to the pivot. At the minute, Vinicius overflowed, Arda finished off the crossbar, insisted Vini and Gonzalo finished up, head. He bonate the auction at close range. The fact is that the change made Madrid more fun. He attacked more. He also granted behind, of course. With remarkable Huijsen, as if he leads all his life supporting the weight of the white defense. And there he began to accuse Trent effort. So exhausted he was seen in a career by Marcos Leonardo who forced his substitution. Lucas entered, who is exit. He showed it in a duel to which he was soft. He lost it and Marcos Leonardo finished off, in good position.
Brahim also entered. By Rodrygo, who did little. Like Vinicius. But Goes left first, which is still a musty. Díaz generated a good option for the right that ended with a center back for Valverde's auction. Better on the axis. Heat and fatigue emptied Vinicius and Bellingham. Modric entered, who put the hard rock stadium standing. Inzaghi also changed the two bands, exhausted. And in another residual action he had the option of winning Madrid. Fran García was to press Alqahtani who touched and hit the white side. They called from Var to Tello and charged the penalty. Valverde assumed responsibility and threw much worse than from outside the area. Centered, easy for a good goal as a bonus. He had another header Gonzalo, who finishes everything, but there was no more. The improvement was not enough to win the first Xabi Alonso game. You already know all the work ahead. That is a lot.
