Since entering 2022, Real Madrid has continued to perform well, winning the last five games in a row and winning the Spanish Super Cup. This time against the underdog Elche at home, Real Madrid was two goals behind, and finally, with the goals of Modric and Militao, the opponent drew 2-2, and the five-game winning streak in all competitions was ended. But fortunately, because Sevilla, the second in the league, is also a draw this round, so Real Madrid can continue to lead La Liga with 4 points.
Real Madrid played very well after the start of the new season. Serbia, which was 4 points ahead of the second-placed Serbia in the first 21 rounds of La Liga, ranked first. In the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid qualified first. In the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid first eliminated Barcelona to reach the final, and then defeated Athletic Bilbao to win the championship. In the King’s Cup, Real Madrid also successfully reached the quarter-finals.
In this game against Elche, Real Madrid is playing at home, the battleship has the advantage, and it has just reversed the opponent to advance in the 1/8 knockout of the King’s Cup, which has a great psychological advantage. Moreover, in this game, Benzema, Courtois and other absolute main players are back, so in the eyes of the media and fans, Real Madrid will easily win.
But in the game, Elche once led by two goals, and Real Madrid just relied on Modric’s penalty kick and Militao’s header to draw the opponent fortunately and won a point, and this draw also made Real Madrid. The five-game winning streak in all competitions came to an end. According to Opta statistics, this is the first time Real Madrid have drawn from a two-goal deficit in La Liga since they faced Las Palmas in March 2017, when they were 3-1 behind Las Palmas. The final battle with the opponent was 3-3.
Although they did not win the game against the underdogs, Sevilla drew 2-2 with Celta in this round, so the difference between Real Madrid and Sevilla is still 4 points, and the gap has not become smaller. Although the point difference has not narrowed, Real Madrid’s defense has shown relatively large loopholes in the last two games, which is what An Shuai should pay attention to in future games.Return to Sohu, see more
