Real Madrid 4-0 Espanyol (April 30, 2022) - The Stitch

I write excited.

It is one more league (only the team that has raised 35 can say that) but it is not one more league. It is La Liga against everything and against everyone. That's how the last ones have been, but it had been a long time since we won with such a hierarchy.

The hierarchy of having the best goalkeeper and the best striker in the world. The hierarchy of having the best young talent in the planet (the numbers cant be discussed).

And the hierarchy of having the coach who after this day has already won all the important leagues on the continent. https://twitter.com/MovistarFutbol/status/1520446302588485633

This stitch article starts at the end, but that's the way it has to be. We have won the game,  a great show in the Bernabéu, we have honored the Goddess Cibeles and we have returned home, that it is time to rest:  we have to do it to return to Cibeles in a month, at the end of May, to bring home our main beloved: our Cup, the European Cup, the Champions League.

Back at home, it's time to look back and explain part of what we experienced today, because there are too many things and Madrid is what it is: victories are not celebrated too much, it's what is expected of us. Our heads quickly go to the next thing, which is Manchester.

We already know that things ended well (4-0) but we know that now. The kick-off was not made by Tamudo, but by Rafa Nadal. That was 1-0.

Carletto rotated, that's what he had to do, but leaving Courtois (the irreplaceable man) and Modric (he's in the prime of his life, why rotate him). Bale was missing (with such pain in his back that he couldn't even go to Cibeles) and Mariano played. Vallejo, central defender Casemiro, varied youth and captain Marcelo also jumped to the green.

I stop here. No one deserved it more https://twitter.com/realmadrid/status/1520488878196596736

Marcelo (already the man with the most titles in our club in all history, maximum legend) assisted the first goal and kissed the goddess. This is how a league ends.

And perhaps it was also beautiful that the win was the ode to the classic league goal: an assist from Vini and a goal from Benzema (they came out at the end). Or Rodrygo vindicated himself again (he is exploding, no doubt) with a double. And Marco Asensio scoring one, because we are going to need everyone, and a pretty goal of Asensio is always well received.

The performance of the team was solid and choral. Once again Camavinga smiling, and making us smile. To say Eduardo is to remember David. He didn't play today but he got us out of the chair https://twitter.com/realmadrid/status/1520452577741131776

And one no longer knows if Real Madrid plays champagne football or is a shameful team, as that newspaper director said one day, but what a joy is to be a Madridista. < p style="text-align: justify;">Congratulations to all, it is already ours.
