Real Madrid beat Cádiz this Saturday at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium on matchday 34 of La Liga and was one step away from becoming champion since if Barcelona does not beat Girona it will take the title.
The goals for Carlo Ancelotti’s team were from Brahím Díaz, Jude Bellingham and Joselu who will now focus on the Champions League semi-final second leg to be played this Wednesday.
The meringues opened the scoring very late in the game. After a very clear chance for Cádiz that was saved by Thibaut Courtois, Madrid counterattacked quickly and scored the first with Brahím who faked an opponent and hit a right foot into the corner to break the deadlock in the 51st minute.
At 68′, Madrid increased the score with Bellingham who, after a collective action between Luka Modric and Brahím Díaz, ended with a cross from the Moroccan to the Englishman and the latter sent it to save from the right.
At the end of the game, Joselu scored the victory for Madrid in a play in which Vinicius passed it to Nacho and the defender went to the area, but instead of scoring he passed it to his teammate who scored with the goal alone. .
With this victory, Real Madrid consolidates its lead and reached 87 points and is 14 points ahead of Barcelona, which is on the ropes in the tournament.
