It was the same old story in Laliga this evening. Las Palmas hosting the 32 time league winners at their home. It was a definite win for Real Madrid by just looking at the team sheets but on the other hand, the Canarians had some other intentions. Madrid scored their first goal against the run of play through a beautifully met header by the eternal Sergio Ramos. Willian Jose came back in the 87th minute to haunt his old club with a goal to tie things up. Just a minute later, Casemiro, the brazilian defensive mid gave Madrid the winning goal to keep the pressure on Atletico Madrid for the battle for the second spot in the table.
Apart from the 3 points everything was against Real Madrid's side in this evening fixture, I am pretty disappointed in how the team actually played with no vision and no intention of pressing against the opposition. It was as if a practice match or a friendly. But, more than that I was surprised that Zidane changed the team so much from the last tie. Sergio Ramos also got a second yellow resulting in a red card, which means that both our defenders Pepe and Ramos are to miss the next match against the stubborn Sevilla. Navas and Casemiro were great during the tie. Our team lacked cohesiveness and often relied on big names to produce what they have been doing.
Hopefully this match gives the players plenty to think about and the manager as well. If we are to do the similar against Sevilla at home then I would consider giving Odegaard his much awaited start. Let's face it guys if it wasn't for Navas saving our asses today, we would have been 3 points behind Atletico today. We need a good physio for the club, as injuries are getting more and more frequent for the club. Today was a rough day at the office for both the team and the manager and I hope the fans do understand that as well. Let's hope that we concentrate on the next tie as Sevilla will probably come to the Bernabau with intentions to shock the home crowd. All that matters form today's game is that we were able to get all the three points.
