Leader of La Liga, Real Madrid fell to Espanyol, which was however relegated. Ancelotti players multiplied the opportunities without finding the fault. A nightmare evening for Casa Blanca who saw Rudiger go on injury.
23:30 – The summary of the match
Incredible surprise! Real Madrid, leader of Liga, falls into the trap set by the Catalans of Espanyol, promoted and relegated. Yet ultra dominating (76% ball possession and 21 shots), the men of Ancelotti did not improve the rain of occasions they had during this part, like the Mbappé posts (57 ‘) and Rodrygo (77’). It must be said that the Madrilenians have come up against a huge Garcia, man of the match, who disgusted the attempts of Casa Blanca, as on the flight he made on the strike of Mbappé who took the way to the skylight ( 78 ‘). Gonzalez’s men made a round back, sometimes on the wire, before placing a flash with Romero at the conclusion of a center at the second post which he took over a cross shot. A goal in the 85th which crucified the Merengue and raised the RCDE Stadium in another dimension, boiling in the last moments. A nightmarish evening for the Liga leaders, especially since they saw their Taulier de la Défense, Rudiger, released on injury in the first period.
A victory that allows Pericos to get out of the red zone. On the Madrid side, the title race is clearly relaunched with Atlético which only points to a small point.
23:15 – A point in the general classification
After this immense surprise, Real Madrid performs a bad operation as general since he sees his rear view mirror the Atlético Madrid which only points to one point. The Espanyol, 17th, takes out the head from the water while extricating from the red zone. A success synonymous with real breath of fresh air.
23:05 – crazy performance
Completely taken, especially in the second half, Gonzalez’s men left the red zone with this victory over the Madrid monster.
