Precise, omnipresent and active, the performance of Modric and Kroos makes Madrid round, it makes it bigger to the same extent that it reduces its opponents.

The rise of Asensio

Asensio was the first beneficiary and he continued his good act with Rayo, before the team's trip. The Balearic did not.

does not wait. There is no first or second, only one class, that of those who run. If there is a way for Asensio to get back on it is to do it, in addition to everything that is supposed to him, the talent, the goal. The way to open the scoring in the Nuevo Los Cármenes was a compendium of everything he can do, with a long drive ended with the goal, although

Margarita has been with Asensio for a while: she loves me, she doesn't love me, I'm leaving, I'm staying ... It's normal. First, because the irregularity is a tonic in their performance; second, because intermittency is a personality trait. It is perceptible throughout the same game. Madrid's system, a 4-3-3, also favors him, not being able to interpret the role in which he feels most comfortable, as a midfielder.

has tried it in that place, but when he has lined up Madrid in a 4-2-3-1. Asensio is a footballer to play behind the striker, with more association and shot from front to door. The band penalizes some of its qualities. It is what it is. Modric and Kroos do not have that problem, although they had to reconvert after their arrival. There Asensio has an example.

On the right, the Spaniard accelerated to meet Kroos' pass and rushed to the finish off against Maximiano, with very little opposition from Granada.

The error in the exit of the ball, something that

, penalized the Nasrid team, very little intense at the start.

In fact, he did not wake up until he closed the gap, thanks to the personal rebellion of Luis Javier Suárez, a racial striker.

Before and after, however, he fit in again in Madrid's plays drawn with a rule and bevel.

Kroos and Modric moved on the left and Nacho finished in the area, in the second goal.

The Croatian left the goal to Vinicius after driving Benzema in the third of the whites.

It was a touch of class, half deception, half efficiency, with the brush of a genius.

Double expulsion at Granada

The third goal restored the dominant trend that Madrid had tepidly lost with Luis Javier Suárez's shot and which heated up the stadium until half-time. The return returned things to their place, this time with an Imperial Modric and Kroos in the media, and Vinicius thrown until he was hunted by

. The red card did more justice to the defender's intentions than to what happened. The expulsion unleashed the impotence of Robert Moreno, hysterical, who ended up also parading to the locker room. He had reasons to be angry, but in any case with his own, not very intense, and with his approach.
