A bad game between two fierce rivals

It was a pretty bad match. There was no brilliance. Madrid show that they are renouncing the League for the lost and that they are focused on the King’s Cup and above all on the Champions League. For this reason, perhaps, the picture he offered. I think the two keys to why Ancelotti’s team did not play at the level that is always expected of them are: fatigue from the duel with Liverpool and the lack of unbalanced players. As the minutes passed and he saw that the game was slipping away, and thus the least chance to win the League, he tried to push a little more, but he could not find the courage in the other duels either. Proof that the regularity of the competition gives him an equal at the moment.

That’s why it was a game with a lot of defensive control. The proof of this is that two shots fell from the machine. It didn’t matter that Atlético had a man less on the field, due to the sending off of Correa, who knew how to do damage that way.

Madrid has a problem, which is a lack of imbalance. Only Vinicius is capable of doing that, but more and more people are watching him.

Another proof of how bad the game was was that you watched it on television and it was only when Vinicius, due to his imbalance, or Valverde, due to his shooting ability, caught the ball that it sparked interest.

As for Atlético, more of the same, they haven’t done much to improve their game either. And, due to the fact that he was left with a man less, well, he already hid behind himself and left the entire field to Real Madrid, who tried to throw in another gear, but it was clear that it wasn’t working for him either. Just like this tie between two teams that left the League too early this season.
