• Direct, that's how we live the day

Leganés , a team rescued by faith and the rennet of Javier Aguirre , a guy who speaks pure football, dies on his feet . A goal separated him from salvation, a possible goal that he pursued beyond the breath of the champion himself, until turning Butarque into the Alamo of the League , the place where Madrid could not fulfill its plenary session, although that mattered little where only the lifetime. Like the Alamo, Butarque, in the end, fell .

The Mexican coach had managed to inflame the faith of his own until he saw the shore with air in his lungs. The Lega was the only one of those sentenced who arrived alive on the last day. The problem was not only that it depended on another result, that of Celta in Cornellà , but that the last guest was the best in the tournament, and wanting to feel that way, to emotionally feed back towards a challenge in the Champions League .

Areola was one of Zidane's concessions to an eleven in which most of the column remained: Sergio Ramos-Casemiro-Benzema . The decision secured the Zamora trophy for Courtois without playing, but the team's profile sent a clear message in a day with nothing material at stake for the Whites, already with the title in their hands, but with the appeal of the plenary in the postcovid league. and with the duty that professionalism demanded in competition, given the interests of others. What for Madrid was honor, for Leganés it was life, and that life found hope precisely under Areola's legs. It lasted until the end, despite his own mistakes that allowed Madrid to get ahead successively, as Aguirre wanted, but what quality dictates, always impious.

Although Leganés had managed to avoid a premature descent thanks to his defensive strength , by not conceding a single goal in the last four games, against Madrid he did it in a few minutes, exactly eight. It happened in the coarsest and most innocent way, leaving the defense absolutely alone to Sergio Ramos in the center of the area, in a set piece action. Isco didn't need to hone too much to find it. Aguirre's anger was visible in the locker room, as it would be in the second half, when a bad delivery returned the ball to Isco, who threw Asensio into the penalty area. The Balearic Islands did not spare to put Madrid at an advantage again. The technician arrived for the impossible and he was a sigh of achieving it in a team that caught fire with the sales of Braithwaite and En-Nesyri .

Bryan Gil does not have the same weight, but his manners indicate that he can have much more. At 19 years old, he assumed the role of leading hope, in partnership with Jonathan Silva . Both found space on the left, where Zidane had placed Lucas Vázquez as an alternative winger . A boy for everything who always has the appreciation of the coach. When Jonathan Silva was able to find Bryan Gil in an advantage in the area, the young forward made a oriented control and crossed softly. The ball went under Areola's legs .

Leganés had done the most difficult, as it was to tie against Madrid, but his own mistakes would return him to the disadvantage, at the beginning of the second half, with the goal of Asensio. Aguirre then decided to burn the ships , break the tactic and surrender to a suicidal exchange of blows, by putting Avilés and Assalé on the field. He had no other choice.

It was a good scenario for Benzema to have filled the bag in his aspiration to Pichichi , but Messi's two goals in Vitoria and the last hour of play turned the purpose into a pipe dream. Better, then, to rest and avoid more risks. Zidane gave Jovic and Brahim minutes without removing Vinicius , who, strangely, had gone unnoticed. But the faith, sister of despair, already belonged to Leganes, who persisted to a draw, through Assalé, and believed more than ever, but the quality is mortifying, as the wrong occasions by Avilés showed. Not even the VAR , in a possible penalty, avoided his drama. He has pride in his trip to Segunda . If you keep it, there is a return ticket.
