David Gil was confident in win against Los Blancos
David Gil was so firm that it seemed that Cadiz would save at least one point, because he delayed the goal a lot. It came, curiously, when late in the second half Sergio replaced three men, already exhausted from supporting Madrid’s offensive. Madrid took advantage of the short period of time it took for them to fit in again to score with two very close shots, one from Nacho and the other from Asensio, in plays in which the local containment framework was not so well armed. Then yes, Cádiz organized again and even took advantage of the energy of the reinforcements to let loose and threaten Madrid. But it was too late to save even a point.
Victory for the Los Blancos
Madrid came back with the victory but above all with the conviction of having their people in very good shape at the end of the season, when the prizes are distributed. And with a display from Rodrygo, clearly more comfortable on the left wing than on the right. As for Benzema, although he missed the goal that he was looking for a lot (twice he hit the post and other times Gil told him no) he is once again in luxury. He gets everything he thinks, and what he thinks is always beautiful and useful. The six non-starters who started yesterday showed, like the five who are, to have reached this decisive stage of the season in great shape. There are good prospects.
