Four days after their 1-0 defeat in Paris in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, Real Madrid recovered thanks to a nice goal from Marco Asensio, with a curled shot from the left from the entrance to the area (62nd), and a superb collective goal involving a heel from Karim Benzema, a blind throw from Asensio, and a finish from Vinicius (80th).

And the French captain of Real even sealed the victory from the penalty spot in the 90th + 1, after a foul by French defender Florian Lejeune on Vinicius in the box.

Three goals that made the Santiago-Bernabéu smile again in the last half hour.

Because before, the merengue supporters let filter a few whistles to denounce the poverty of the game proposed by the men in white.

Seven points ahead of Sevilla

Asensio also asked the fans to change their whistles to encouragement during the celebration of his goal.

And even the placid Carlo Ancelotti, who asked his bench and his staff to keep calm after the initial goal, himself let his joy explode after the magnificent second collective goal.

“No one in the locker room was happy with our first half.

But after the defeat on Tuesday, there, in the second period, we saw a reaction”, pointed out “Carletto” in a post-match press conference.

A success that allows the Merengues to take a seven-point lead over their first pursuer, Sevilla FC, who face Espanyol Barcelona on Sunday.

And a reassuring return to the Bernabéu, just over two weeks from the round of 16 second leg of C1 against PSG.
