• 0-1 in Zorrilla. Narration and statistics

Real Madrid took advantage of the Barcelona crisis to become a leader alone after winning Valladolid last night in a close match. A header from Nacho in the last minutes billed a triumph of those who have a lot of weight in the final accounting. Three points about Leo Messi are always appreciated.

"Has Kobe Bryant died?" In disbelief, some spectators in the upper areas of the Zorrilla were looking in the press booths for confirmation of the rumor that began to throb in their cell phones. During the break, the Real Madrid players heard about the news, most of them hooked to the NBA.

The first part made the attention in the stadium of Valladolid dance the lawn to comment on such a sounded accident. Little had to be brought to the mouth in such a function, dense as the fog that gave off the Pisuerga throughout Sunday. The reforms have made the countryside much more welcoming than in the eighties, when Mágico González killed here, in his Castilian exile, the cold and boredom making bets with his companions. One was to climb all the stairs of the gallery giving touches to the ball.

Last night filigree, few in a very tight duel, without air for the spinal cord of Zidane , with Isco and Modric ahead of Kroos and Casemiro . The Brazilian soon ahead of his own, but the VAR detected his millimeter out of play. The arbitral display has fulfilled the classic being online, with now laser pointer detections that require a lot of faith in the system. The late repetition denounced that the Madridista's wrist was in the wrong position. The other action that bothered the whites was a hard squad by Joaquín on the lightweight Rodrygo , which he almost took out the parking lot . Yellow that in other cases, with other referees and other offenders has been and will be red.

Intimidating trivot

The Valladolid gained strength from the 0-1 annulled, increasing the pressure to a Madrid without fluency, nostalgic for the depth of the sanctioned Carvajal . The local cadre does not go with little girls. Better not owe them money, or ask for tobacco. His trivot intimidates, they don't let the wind pass. Sergio González has formed - in the band without shelter, to six degrees - a robust block, of the less thrashed of the League and with only one defeat at home in nine games. Even the center forward, the Turkish Ünal , competed in muscles with Ramos and Varane .

Valladolid in the Bernabéu already caused a toothache (tie on the second day). They go with everything to each set, as Rodrygo soon learned, in search of more freedom on the left. The boy threw courage on a pair of slalons around that area. Only noise, because the one who really tried was Casemiro again, in a distant shot.

From outside the area, the host also found his two most dangerous options, in an attempt at an Olympic goal and at another side center, both cleared for sure by Courtois . On the way to rest, Isco and Modric gained meters, more in individual skirmishes, jumping lines. Therefore, it was not difficult for the pucelana rear end their arrivals. Salisu , a bullet, showed why he is one of the championship centrals with the best cartel.

Celebration at the height

A shiver of Rodrygo and a bad control of Benzema, only in the small area, lined the exit of the Madrid of the rest. Something more sharp showed, taking advantage that local brands were no longer the same as a while before. In a few meters he found, Rodrygo put a good ball from the right that Benzema headed with danger. Without fireworks, the whites were fearing their rival, already anchored in no solution in their field.

The local coach took the whistle to change his battering ram for another midfielder. José Zorrilla did not lose his ambition while the first-place contender consumed minutes in vain. When Zidane began to move pieces, Nacho's goal came. Topped powerful in the area, center from the side. The celebration, a pineapple of players in the band, illustrated the importance of the scoreboard. The solo leadership rewards three months of growth, between goal problems, injuries and a defensive job that was not remembered in Madrid. And Hazard is missing to give more arguments to the new leader.
