Real Madrid extended their Winning La Liga streak to five against Granada with a 2-0 win on Wednesday at Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium. Real Madrid had just won Eibar 3–1 and were still competing at home against the seventh team in the division.
Technician Zinedine Zidane made some minor lineup changes with Luka Modric absent from the precautionary adjustment, instead the team covered Federico Valverde in the middle of the field for Modric alongside Casemiro and Toni Kroos. Zidane made no changes to the attack trio. Karim Benzema, Lucas Vázquez and Rodygo were in charge of generating the Real Madrid offensive.
Granada’s scale almost broke in the first few minutes of the attack after a bad pass from Raphael Varane seized a chance at Antonio Puertas’ goal.
After laxity at the rally, Real Madrid continued to stay at their own pace. He responded by retaining ownership and entering dangerous spaces. Kroos nearly made his way with a distant shot in the 15th minute, but his attempt almost failed.
With some exciting moments still missing the finish line, Madrid’s momentum hesitated a little before half-time, as Rodygo was the most sensitive in a race to the area with an injury. The most sensible move led the Brazilian to be stretched off the field in an unfortunate round of events, as lately he was in the most sensible way for Real Madrid.
Marco Asensio arrived for Rodrygo and Madrid to play the break in search of the decisive purpose after having the most of the property against Granada 69% to 31% while defeating the opponent 9-4.
Asensio would remain active in the band, while Benzema remained largely silent with Granada aiming at the French striker. Asensio hit the post in the 55th minute before, despite everything that helped Madrid’s genuine first break a few minutes later.
Asensio won a ball from left-back Ferland Mendy and took him near the baseline and placed a center to the area where Casemiro jumped into the area to head center in the opening in the 57th minute.
Whether it was a lack of team spirit in the lineup changes or a widespread weariness, Madrid were pleased to play their lead against a Granada that had little time with the ball and may not generate glances ahead of the goal.
It seemed that Madrid would be on the verge of victory, but without a benzema goal, however, the French striker would not refuse when he scored in the time off for Real Madrid.
Benzema internally cut the right wing after receiving Casemiro’s ball and chose his shot from the most sensible in the area by hitting his left foot, proceeding to his series of purposes for 4 purposes in real Madrid’s last 3 games.
