REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MADRID — Real Madrid was strong when they met Athletic Bilbao in the 30th leg of the Spanish La Liga season 2023/24. El Real took a 2-0 lead over Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Madrid, Monday (1/4/2024) early morning WIB.
Appearing at their own headquarters, Los Blancos kicked off from the start. Only eight minutes into the match, the hosts managed to take the lead. Rodrygo Goes listed his name on the board. The Brazilian striker made the giant hit in the 73rd minute.
“Rodrygo performed great and made a difference,” said Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, quoted on his club’s official website.
He returned to playing a two-attacker formation. This situation does not prevent Rodrygo from being creative. According to Don Carlo, this brace is another proof that the 23 year old footballer can be placed in various positions on the front line.
He did not deny that sometimes in certain matches, the striker experienced a deadlock. According to him it was normal. All bangers have experienced it. Most importantly, the Brazilian national team players are naturally skilled at carrying out their duties well.
“I think he is good everywhere, even though people say he plays better on the left side. Remember, he scored two goals in the Champions League semifinals, while playing on the right side,” said Ancelotti.
The entrepreneur evaluates the performance of several of his mainstays. Rodrygo is the difference. Unfortunately, Jude Bellingham did not appear in optimal performance.
Ancelotti knows that. He understands it. The team’s midfielder has just had a busy agenda with the England national team.
“Today Bellingham was not as fresh as usual. He played two very intense matches for England,” said Don Carlo.
However, this is not something that is a problem. The most important thing is that victory can be achieved. These results make Madrid firmly on the throne of the standings.
By pocketing 75 points, El Real is eight points ahead of Barcelona in second place. La Liga has eight games remaining. Let go of the tension in the domestic realm for a moment.
Next, Madrid focuses on Europe. Los Blancos will meet Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. The party took place at the Bernabeu, Wednesday (10/4/2024) at 02.00 WIB.
“All players must be at their best level to beat City,” said Ancelotti, emphasizing.
