Real Madrid beat Osasuna 3-1, after this La Liga match, Real Madrid is now 17 points ahead, of course, the opponent still has some games not played, now Real Madrid is the end of 33 rounds, and regardless of whether it is 18 points ahead of Barca, Barça play two games less, if you win is a 12-point gap, so if there is no accident, Real Madrid's next game to play Espanyol to win, is to determine the championship. However, this match with Osasuna is indeed a bit interesting.
Objectively speaking, Real Madrid's recent backline has not performed well, but the team can win because it is good in attack and always scores more goals
The Real Madrid backline still has problems in this game, and judging from the game, the team's backline players are not in good shape. Of course, this season the team has this ability, Militang and Alaba are both unstable defensive players. This may be a Real Madrid loophole that Manchester City can find, the full-back team is indeed unstable this season, at least for now, Real Madrid's backline plays the Champions League, may face some of Manchester City's attacks, is to make mistakes, the mistakes of this game are obvious. But Alaba's goal in this game is really wonderful, good.
There are some rotations in the midfield, which are actually for the Champions League, and these relatively young players perform averagely
In fact, it is clear that as the season progresses, in addition to some key games, the team focuses on using young people, and Camaringa is a player who is used in a key way, of course, this is very interesting. His performance in this game is OK, it seems that he is just trying to take over The players of Modric, basically this positioning, of course he still needs to practice. Valverde's performance is OK, in fact, for him, he still needs to continue to work hard to get playing time, in itself, he should be a player who replaces Modric, and now it seems to be a substitute, or a substitute player who rarely has the opportunity to play.
Ceballos got a chance this time, but the performance was relatively average, that's it. But this midfield rotation did not make the team lose, but won, which is very meaningful, after all, for the team, the veteran needs to rest and need to have a good performance in the Champions League. So in contrast, Manchester City players are trained in the form of a race, and Real Madrid has taken some rotations because of the number of veterans.
The performance of the forward players is good
The team did well this up front, Benzema wasted the opportunity to take a penalty, which means that the Champions League may have a penalty opportunity, he scored, Asensio scored, from the game, Asensio is getting better and better, a little bit before the injury. This is a good thing, Vinicius has been in good shape recently, in fact, recently Real Madrid not only Benzema performed very well, but also for Real Madrid, the team's wing is more and more players who can be used, Asensio found the state, it is indeed more and more important, plus Rodrigo and Vinicius, who have performed well themselves, so that the team has no center forward substitute, there are many people who can score from the side, that's it.
The win in this game has allowed the veteran to get a break, but the other key is that the Champions League opponent Manchester City has a defender injured, and it looks like Real Madrid play manchester City and have a chance. So the team in this game is after winning, the later league can rest some of the main players, and play the Champions League with peace of mind.
