Real Madrid defeated Liga’s red lantern, Espanyol Barcelona 1-0 on Sunday for the 32nd day of the Spanish championship, and returned to the top of the ranking with two points ahead of FC Barcelona (69 pts) , hung 2-2 on Saturday at Celta Vigo.
The Madrid have won thanks to an easy goal from Casemiro in the area (45th), and take a decisive advantage in the title race in La Liga, when there are only six days left to play.
Madrid’s unique achievement is worth seeing as Karim Benzema’s assist is brilliant. The Frenchman took a trailing balloon in the heel, pushing it perfectly in the race of his Brazilian teammate. A gesture all the more important as it offers Spanish leadership to the winner of the evening.
Zinedine Zidane was admiring of this gesture. “I think of genius, I think of this gesture of class, I think of all the people who like to see beautiful football, like me, like you, like all the enthusiasts who like to see this kind of gestures. And what is still more beautiful is to see that his boyfriend, Casemiro in this case, knows that Karim can do this kind of action“.
