Bellingham brought victory to Real in the Champions League

When the debutant in Champions League As Unión Berlin gave to Real Madrid his first caution of the season and white pushing, with more soul than football, died between shots on goal and saves from Ronnow, in the last action of added time, a cannon strike Fede Valverde remained dead so that the blessing of Jude Bellingham extended into his European premiere at the Santiago Bernabéu, so that the Whites will celebrate 1-0.

It was not a day, but it will surely come, because Carlo Ancelotti He lacks the offensive resources to change the flow of a game like the one presented to him in the first step in the Champions League. AND Real Madrid heartless in the first part and unrestrained in the second until finding the prize in the last gasp in his thirtieth shot. When the impotence took its toll on Joselu, he donned the costume of Bellingham’s savior on a day when his influence in the game waned.

The balance of the first act was a warning. A shot on goal, an early Joselu header and eight shots to nothing from a Real Madrid lack of depth on the wings against a five-man defense and a rugged team like Berlin Union, least points in the past Bundesliga, which is parapeted as a scoring formula.

There was a lack of fluidity in Madrid’s game. Without good lubrication of the T pairchouaméni-Camavinga, with Luka Modrić starting from the inside right but with a natural tendency to go inwards and collide with Bellingham. English did not find its place in its European premiere in Santiago Bernabeu. Neither does he Real Madrid a real game to win.

Joselu offers him the alternative he has been missing. A variant to fully exploit its power. His first shot must find the side centers. Sides are key and AncelottiI longed for the best Carvajal, stopped with a muscle problem when he appeared in each game, and surprised Fran García after his two assists against Real company. The compliments didn’t work.

Without the agitator Vinícius, who was missed more than ever Real Madrid, there was only one option Rodrygo. He tried to move, but to no avail, and after two initial Joselu headers, impotence took hold of the white team. A foul by Alaba, a long-range shot into the stands by Tchouaméni and the anxiety presented in the Nacho. With such a desire to prove himself, he rushed in with a shot that was as far as it was incomprehensible and an excessive run that covered the spaces to finally throw in a pass that was lost without a receiver.

First day of rotation ‘Carletto’ didn’t work before a Berlin Union, debutant and inexperienced in “Champions” who chose to protect himself with Bonucci’s experience and lose his counter-attacking options by substitution Fofana. And he tried to change that with his usual Bernabéu push after going through the dressing room, but the posts prevented the game from changing its course.

He appeared Ronnow feel that the second act would be a different story, covering up the shot Rodrygo and connecting with the crossbar that denied the Brazilian’s second attempt. Camavingafrom the front, he also caressed him on three occasions in less than a minute that created more danger than the entire first half.

The pace of ball possession increased Real Madrid and the German team began to suffer. Suddenly everything became more natural, Rodrygo kept appearing, Camavinga fell in attack, dynamizing the rival balance and Bluec distributed game. Gatekeeper Ronnow He was starting to be a savior. He cleared Joselu’s shot to the best of his ability, deflected another forward header that bounced off the post again and headed home Modric’s shot from the edge of the penalty area.

The game was going and Ancelotti He looked at the bench and couldn’t find a striker to pull off. Entrance to Kroos and Fede Valverde, end Brahim and Fran García, They increased their team’s momentum. Josel he was close to goal again with a shot that caressed the post, Rodrygo forgave the lamentations Bernabeu which exploded in the last action of the game. Valverde beat him in front, the ball bounced off an opponent and landed on a golden plate for Bellingham, who extended his dream as a Real Madrid fan.
