• Direct Narration and Statistics

The last two days of each

league

are a drama.

Pure

tension

,

survival and destruction

.

A life-and-death long-distance fight that

Real Madrid

has encountered on its way to the

Champions League

final .

Carlo Ancelotti

's team

'descended' to

Levante

with their victory last Thursday and sank

Cádiz

a little after the draw of

Nuevo Mirandilla

.

A Madrid that,

without Vinicius, Benzema, Modric or Camavinga

, was lazy at times, had no ease in the final meters and gave

too many opportunities

to a Cádiz that did not know how to take advantage of the night.

With a little more calm,

Sergio González

's men could have been saved this weekend, but who can ask for calm at this point.

And that the appointment began uphill for the Cadiz.

For Valdano himself, who was by his side at the

Azteca

, to say that a play "looks like

Maradona

's all-time goal, " is that this action has been outrageous.

In the 4th minute,

Rodrygo Goes

controlled the ball close to the left margin line of Nuevo Mirandilla.

He left

Alcaraz

with a cut to his left, accelerated diagonally towards the rival goal, effortlessly overcame

Álex Fernández

's arrival , faced the area, threatened

Luis Hernández

to the right and broke him to the left, withstood the push of

Fali

and came to

Ledesma

, which had beaten him well.

There the Brazilian managed to make a soft touch that prevented the goalkeeper from stopping and left the ball free for

Mariano

's shot .

0-1.

Lucas Vázquez

went straight for the young striker, ex-

Santos

, and hugged him before snorting in reaction to what he had seen.

His appearances in recent weeks have made Madrid dream of a new explosion of another of the adolescent jewels he caught in Brazil a few years ago.

Mariano, who put his hands to his face in relief after scoring, thanked him for the gallop.

Something that put Cádiz on the precipice of the

Second Division

until Madrid, personified in

Militao

, wove a rope to keep it from falling.

The Brazilian is the perfect example of what these days mean for the white team.

Militao, having overcome some physical discomfort, needs to reach May 28 with an

adequate

competitive rhythm .

Rhythm that this Sunday did not have.

The center-back emitted signs of

doubt

and Cádiz, and especially

Negredo and Lucas Pérez

, took advantage of them.

The locals were able to equalize after five minutes after a brilliant run by the attacker from Madrid, beating a weak Militao, but

Nacho

He arrived before the ball reached the Galician's boots.

And in minute

36

, after a good save by

Lunin

moments before, the Andalusians found the prize.

Militao badly cleared a ball that seemed clear to give it to Lunin, and the ball landed on

Rubén Sobrino

, who faced the area, feinted several times on Vallejo and shot.

The ball grazed Militao, hit the crossbar and entered the Madrid net.

Justice to the local push.

Hazard's return

The second half was almost everything Cádiz wanted to complete the comeback.

Madrid only appeared when

Kroos

altered the passivity of the merengues attacks and looked for the goal with his passes.

There Asensio, Mariano and Carvajal had options, but they were not successful.

Ancelotti gave half an hour to

Ceballos

and

Eden Hazard

, who had not played since February, and the Belgian was one of the best in the final stretch despite the fact that he still has a long way to go to reach optimal form that will allow him to participate in

Paris

.

That

's what Carletto was

looking for .

Meanwhile,

Cádiz

, in a more emotional than football field, was a prisoner of his feelings.

Alavés lost and

Mallorca

tied, so a goal left them in the First Division for one more season.

Too effusive.

Negredo

had the clearest chance from eleven meters after being brought down by

Lunin

(after a mistake by Militao), but the Ukrainian put out a colossal hand to keep the draw.

Courtois

' substitute

was the best in Madrid.

He blocked any local attempt and kept a clean sheet during the final stretch despite the attempts of Negredo, who with a shot a few meters from the goal and a header from close range had the best options.

Lunin always appeared there.

In the discount of the New Mirandilla, the stands sank with the goal of

Mallorca

and with the desperation of the tie on their grass.

Madrid did not intimidate enough and remained professional in the face of unsuccessful local attacks.

Ancelotti's men continue to travel to Paris and Cádiz, now in relegation, will play it all in Vitoria.
