Real Madrid only took one point in a derby against Rayo Vallecano (1-1) on Sunday, Eduardo Camavinga having offered the penalty for the opposing equalizer. The La Liga leader can see Girona come back three lengths…
What if the La Liga title race was not yet over? Real Madrid failed to win their 20th match in 25 days of the championship on Sunday during their derby at Rayo Vallecano (1-1). The Merengues are now six points ahead of Girona, who challenge Bilbao on Monday, as well as eight points ahead of Barça, winners the day before their meeting against Celta.
The Merengues were this time deprived of Ferland Mendy in addition to Thibaut Courtois, Antonio Rüdiger, Eder Militao, David Alaba and their star Jude Bellingham. Joselu had the chance to start in the attacking sector and the Spanish center forward opened the scoring on the visitors’ first attack, taking a cross from Federico Valverde (3rd). For his 12th goal of the season.
Camavinga and Carvajal suspended
The match changed in the middle of the first period, with a shot blocked by the arm of Eduardo Camavinga in front of his goal. The VAR called the referee for a possible penalty and Raul De Tomas, a former Real player, reset the counters to zero (27th). Once is not customary “Cama”, in 6 (Aurélien Tchouaméni being again in central hinge), did not shine in this meeting and received a warning which will deprive him of the next clash against Seville.
Vinicius and his teammates were unable to find the fault against the team from Vallecas (a district of the capital) and even finished at 10, Dani Carvajal receiving two warnings in added time (90th+3 and 90th+5) . Yet another absentee for the next La Liga meeting against a certain Sergio Ramos, next Sunday.
