Team Changes

Highlights of the Match

1. A rocket like shot was deflected when Rodrygo saw the ball hit the side netting.
2. A couple of more efforts to score before half-time were ceased by Maximiano to prevent the breakthrough of Madrid’s Scoreboard.
3. More pressure was forced upon Granada by Coach Ancelotti’s masterful tactics and decisions.
4. Luka Jovic and Eden Hazard together, displayed their symbiotic tactical skills to give room to Jovic to fire a rocket worth of a shot fired from a long range.
5. Maximiano still kept his calm and blocked the penalty kick which was later changed to a free kick by VAR preventing Madrid to score another goal.

Captain’s Pen

Marcelo commented after the game that he felt it was a strange game to be honest and they lacked patience in the first half of it. But in the end, more possession of the ball secured them 3 crucial points which this match win credited in their points tally.
