Real Madrid 6-0 Levante (May 12, 2022) - The Stitch

These days comes a lot to my mind that video of Modric in the locker room, hugging the divine bald man, looking at the camera and saying "Método Pintus! Pintus Method!"

Because this thursday Levante came to us risking everything. And with all due respect to a quarrelsome team, which we hope will return to the First Division soon, the toy was Levante itself.

Carlo is enjoying himself, using pieces wisely to keep up the pace. Kroos rotated, but not Modric. Madrid was once again Vallejo and 10 more, but among those 10 were Courtois and Benzema. Or that boy from Croatia.

And beware, before continuing: Vallejo is spectacular. Pintus Method! In the first minute he had already scooped up a ball that, seconds later, almost turned into a Benzema goal. All in one minute.

In the 11th minute there was a penalty. Now it is of little importance, but I was reviewed because the non-introduction of the VAR is a scandal. Not so much today for us, not for us I insist, as for the teams that were playing for relegation with Levante.

But hey, it didn't matter. Because Modric today was in "I'm the guy who has dominated this sport for a decade" mode and moments later he gave Mendy a ball, which the Frenchman put into the Granota goal.

The visitors had a quick reaction, immediately, but Courtois stopped them. He was not going to be the Benji Price of the game, which the visitor was. If you haven't seen the game you'll consider this a bold statement, given that Cardenas has conceded 6. The question is how many he has avoided. If not, ask Valverde, who between the Levante goalkeeper and the sticks, failed no less than 3 very clear occasions.

The TV took out a tremendous statistic. 7 scoring chances in 21 minutes. Mendy was able to put his second in the 18, for example. It was a Real Madrid Unchained, liberated, happy, full. The goal would be signed by Benzema assisted by Vinicius, making it clear that, if Mbappe comes, the top positions are highly valued. We should think more about how to clothe Modric so that he lasts another 20 years.

Note: Benzema snatches the goal from Vallejo!

Real Madrid was an avalanche. The 3-0, in minute 33, was by Rodrygol, assisted by Emilio ButraModric, who stopped the clock in the area until the Brazilian, all intelligence, found the corridor.

Note: 11 occasions in 37 minutes. 3 minutes average. They have a great goalkeeper.

The Levante coach, team that we should remembered was playing against being relegated, couldn't take it anymore. He made a double change. It didn't work, because nothing would have. It was Globetrotters night.

The 4-0 before the break went to Vini, who was starting his hat-trick. The Brazilian struck the goal after another clairvoyance of the Croatian master of the goal multiverse. https://twitter.com/realmadrid/status/1524840377773084690

The question remained: what game there would be after the break? A less dizzying one, with many changes (Real would end Jovic and Mariano on point) but with the same sense of dominance, we are the league champion. Valverde would touch the goal again, Benjamin Cardenas Price would deny it again. Nor would Rodrygo succeed in beating him in a heads up that he resolved with a vaseline outside the three sticks.

It was going to be half of Vini, to take the ball. A delight from Modric, followed by a little touch from Karim's top hat, was the second for the Brazilian. He would not enter the carousel of changes to put the sixth, his third.

In other protagonists, Morales missed the goal of honor, at pleasure place, a sign of the denial they carried. He is a guy who does not fail even remotely something like that. Yeah, Jovic fails them more, who once again left what seem to be good traces... but without a goal. And this invention is about that. Mariano, for example, scored a goal. He scored a goal in all our heads, except in the Cárdenas one, a heroic levantine goalkeeper who was all hands and overcoming today. Honor to him. https://twitter.com/realmadrid/status/1524852315324399627 < p style="text-align: justify;">Final sentence: Modric, with physical people escorting him, will be able to retire cuando le salga de los balcanes (when he wants)
