Real Madrid earned three crucial points last night in their quest for the league title, narrowing the gap with Barcelona. Carlo Ancelotti’s team achieved victory in a challenging match at BalaΓdos, with their primary goal being to win after the international break.
Following the match, Ancelotti remarked, βIt was a competitive and closely contested game. We should acknowledge our effort to compete until the end.β He also noted, βWhile we could have performed better, the team’s commitment was evident. We struggled with balance early on, and the goal we conceded was preventable. We need to be more vigilant, particularly during counter-attacks.β The win was reinforced by standout performances from Kylian MbappΓ©, Vinicius Junior, Thibaut Courtois, and Luka Modric, who all excelled at BalaΓdos.
Despite his enthusiasm and determination to secure a starting position, Fran Garcia did not have his best performance. The Real Madrid full-back expressed regret to Kylian MbappΓ© after the match for not enabling him to advance and involve more players. He also apologized to Carlo Ancelotti, acknowledging that he struggled to choose the right moments for his runs.
