After playing the Champions League battle in midweek, Real Madrid's main player needs to rest. Benzema, Venicius, Mendy, Carvajal, Kroos and Valverde were on the bench, while Alaba and Militão were not on the squad. Real Madrid, which is half-main, can also easily break through the Espanyol's door:
In the 33rd minute, Real Madrid played a smooth combination, modric, Ceballos, Camavinga's midfield combination, continuous passing coordination. Marcelo crossed and the 21-year-old Rodrigo dribbled laterally and pushed his right foot into the dead corner, 1-0!
10 minutes later, Spaniard Yangel Herrera made a mistake at the back, Rodrigo broke the ball and dodged Serch Gomez, pushing the ball into the bottom left corner, 2-0!
In just 10 minutes, Rodrigo staged a good show. Brilliant possession, calm push, Real Madrid official praise: is this R21 (Rodrigo) or R9 (Ronaldo)?
In the 55th minute, Real Madrid scored another goal: the Espanyol attack was intercepted, and Real Madrid counterattacked. Carmavinga dribbled nearly 50 metres and Real Madrid formed a 3-4 chance in front of the field. Camillan scored a plus and Asensio scored with a right-footed shot that he wasn't good at!
3-0 far ahead, in the 60th minute, Real Madrid replaced Kroos, Benzema and Isco. When Modric came off, Bernabeu fans gave a standing ovation. Casemiro leaves the field and Camaringa cameo at centre-back.
In the 65th minute, Wu Lei came off the bench to replace De Thomas.
Wu Lei's first touch of the ball created a threat. In the 66th minute, the Espanyol attack, Puado's running position, Wu Lei's wonderful heel pass, penetrated the Real Madrid defense! Unfortunately, Puado failed to seize the opportunity.
In the 71st minute, Benzema reversed the triangle and Isco's left-footed push was successful. VAR intervened, and the referee decided that the goal was invalid - the reason was that Real Madrid attacked and Rodrigo interfered with the goalkeeper's judgment in the offside position.
