Real Madrid beats Las Palmas after going behind
LAS PALMAS. The triumphant march in LaLiga continues. Real Madrid lived up to their role as favorites on Saturday, beating promoted team UD Las Palmas 2-1 away, recording their fifth success in a row in the Primera División – and thus also presenting in the long-distance duel with FC Girona. The Royals now have 54 points in the table, but will still have one less game in their account after the Catalans’ guest appearance (52) on Sunday at Celta Vigo.
Vinícius Júnior (65th) and substitute Aurélien Tchoauméni (84th) secured the triple point win on matchday 22 in summer conditions on Gran Canaria. Against the eighth-placed team, who didn’t have much to offer in the game going forward, Real, who had been harmless for a long time, initially fell behind after the break (53′), whereupon they started to catch up, as they did last weekend against UD Almería (3:2). .
The Merengues’ next task in the league is on Thursday. They will be playing at FC Getafe for the derby, which is a catch-up duel from matchday 20 (9 p.m., in the REAL TOTAL live ticker and at DAZN). Most of this took place two weeks ago while Real were in Saudi Arabia for the Supercopa de España.
Real Madrid: The lineup against Las Palmas
Coach Carlo Ancelotti decided to replace the suspended Jude Bellingham with Brahim Díaz. At the same time, Daniel Ceballos was allowed to play in midfield, while Luka Modrić, Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde sat on the bench. On the left side of the defense, Fran García was preferred over Ferland Mendy. Real mostly played in a 4-3-1-2 with Brahim in a central position behind the double front.
- This is how Real Madrid played: Lunin – Carvajal, Rüdiger, Nacho, F. Garcia – Ceballos (59. Valverde), Camavinga (81. Tchouaméni), Kroos – Brahim (59. Joselu) – Rodrygo (81. Guler), Vinicius (90. Mendy).
Highlights of the game: Blancos largely harmless
- 5th minute – First top chance: Ceballos passes the ball well in the center to Rodrygo Goes, who then comes up short in the end. The linesman’s flag remains down, but if a goal had been scored it would probably have been ruled offside. Shortly afterwards, the jostled Rodrygo hits the opposing goalkeeper with his hand in a fight and is shown a yellow card.
- 19th minute – Kroos free kick: Real are superior, but offensively largely harmless. Toni Kroos takes a free kick from a half-left position, but Álvaro Valles saves it.
- 34th minute – Las Palmas dangerous: The home team becomes dangerous at times. Sergi Cardona is played on a low pass, but his shot from the left in Real’s penalty area goes over the goal. There was certainly something more in it.
- 36. Minute – Vinícius per Heber: Good move. García brings the play equipment from the left side into the middle, where Rodrygo quickly switches and serves Vinícius with a half-height lift. The number 7 also tried a lifter, but Valles smelled the roast and caught the shot.
Highlights of the game: Vinícius and Tchouaméni make it 0-1
- 47th minute – Lunin parries: After the break, things quickly get tricky for Real! Munir El Haddadi finishes tightly in the penalty area from a half-right position and aims for the short corner. Andriy Lunin is there.
- 53rd minute – Real falls behind: Shock! Real conceded the 0:1. Javi Muñoz exploits a cross from the right side with a direct shot and lets the ball hit the near corner. The shot is deflected by Nacho Fernández, Lunin can do nothing.

- 64. Minute – Vinícius vergibt: Great opportunity miserably missed! Kroos plays a good high ball into the penalty area to Vinícius, who accepts it but then shoots it way too high over the opponent’s goal. The pass was difficult to process and the Brazilian finished from the inside.
- 65. Minute – 1:1 durch Vinícius: A little later he does it better! Vinícius scores to make it 1-1, this time finishing dry with his left foot after a strong lob from Eduardo Camavinga.

- 84th minute – Tchouaméni heads the 2-1: The turn! Tchouaméni heads a Kroos corner into the net to make it 2-1. The Frenchman was on the pitch for just three minutes after coming on as a substitute for Camavinga and rose the highest given the standard.
