Congrats, Rayo

In the 91st minute, with a 3-2 lead, Rayo Vallecano continued to put pressure on Real Madrid. Isi was doing a great match, the Garcias dominating their band. They are in good shape, touching European positions and playing like this they should achieve it. We already know, in truth, that the teams usually play their game of the year against Real Madrid... and never again. It happens more to Valencia than to Rayo, in fact. But leave me with my fantasy: I spent the entire second half thinking that finally a team from La Liga could beat Barcelona 4-0. When is it their turn again?

On the other hand, Real Madrid is still thinking about the World Cup. Benzema is not directly there. Vinicius fell into the trap and he is not even the shadow of what he was in the first days of the season. Rodrygo failed what he never fails. Our best player was Asensio! He is undoubtedly pressing precisely because the World Cup is coming. His case is exactly the opposite of his teammates and perhaps for this reason Carlo should have put another lineup. Although that is easier to see now, of course.

“They were more forceful. It means that when you are not able to match them in intensity, it is hard” said Ancelotti after the match. It seems that the figures of the match show that we have not run as usual. So we lost, of course.

Good Rayo, bad Madrid, the damn World Cup... we lose the advantage gained by beating Barcelona. We will go to the World Cup, unless Osasuna is the Osasuna that has been at home for many days, behind Palancas CTA Club.

Because having said all that... the referee... The worst thing about Munuera Montero was not the penalty, the repetition, the cards... the worst thing is that the game got out of his hand very soon and he never managed to recover it. They attacked Vini, and he didn't see it. Nor the VAR. But it was the play by play, wasting time, harshness, protests... the game went over him.

Bad Mendy, unlucky Carvajal, Rodrygo misguided, Vini out of La Liga... but worst of all, we have played a League game again after another week of tweets from the head of the competition. Nothing helps.

We already know that in La Liga it is not enough for us to be superior. To win we have to be very superior. And if on top of that we make a bad game, the defeat is guaranteed.https://twitter.com/realmadriden/status/1589742863562129409
