Real Madrid are not giving up.

In the aftermath of Atlético Madrid's narrow success against Real Sociedad (2-1) which left them no choice, Zidane's players responded by correcting Granada 4-1, to move to two points behind the leader two days from the end.

For this important meeting, the French coach surprised his world by greatly rejuvenating his team with Marvin Park (20 years old) and Miguel Gutierrez (19 years old), as well as the young Brazilians Vinicius (20 years old) and Rodrygo (20 years old).

With the grumbling Casemiro, Modric and Karim Benzema to surround them, the Madrid nuggets made a strong impression.

Gutierrez lit up the game with his perfect serve over the Andalusian curtain for Modric on the opening goal, and Rodrygo, late in the first period, recovered a ball near the halfway line, then finished his run on the wing right by sending the ball into the small net of Rui Silva.

A great “RevoluZZion”, as the Spanish press quickly baptized it on Thursday evening, where Zidane dared to leave stars like Toni Kroos and Eden Hazard to rest to launch young people.

And a way, too, to solve the problem of the many absent due to injury, especially in defense: Sergio Ramos, Raphaël Varane, Dani Carvajal, Ferland Mendy, among others.

Despite a slightly more austere second period, Zidane did not have time to worry: Odriozola and Benzema quickly wiped out the budding hopes of the Granada players after Molina's goal, to seal the merengue success.

“I liked everything.

Not just the goals, we also played very well defensively, we got into the game very well.

It was a complete match for all the players, ”Zizou appreciated.

Thanks to this victory, the Madrilenians almost definitively bury the last title hopes of Barça and Sevilla FC, and return to the heels of Atlético Madrid.

It will be necessary to wait at least until the multiplex of the 37th and penultimate day of the championship, Sunday, to perhaps crown the new champion of Spain, in this breathtaking final sprint of the tightest and most exciting in many years.

"We will continue, there are two games left, we will give everything until the last moment," Zidane promises.
