Real Madrid and Osasuna fought to a dismal draw in a crucial LaLiga match on Sunday night at the Santiago Bernabeu. The effort put forth by Ancelloti’s men was below par, and the manager certainly won’t be happy with the result.
Early on, Real Madrid controlled the ball and created some good scoring opportunities, putting themselves in a strong position to win.
However, it took Real Madrid 42 minutes to break down Osasuna’s resolute defense. Vinicius Junior put the home team ahead with a spectacular goal from inside the penalty area.
Real Madrid lost the lead they had held for the first five minutes of the second half. Kike made a fantastic attempt that resulted in a goal in the 50th minute.
Karim Benzema had a penalty kick for Real Madrid and missed the goal. The Frenchman’s incredibly powerful but unartful hammering caused him to crash into the crossbar.
Karim Benzema is famous for his “go for power” penalty kick strategy. On Sunday night, however, against Osasuna, nothing went right.
It was clear that Vinicius Junior was one of the few players who was a little down about the game. Even before Benzema kicked the ball from the penalty spot, the Brazilian forward was seen raising his hands in celebration.
Unbeknownst to him, Benzema betrayed Vinicius Junior’s trust. There is no doubt in my mind that Benzema would exercise greater caution in the future to prevent a repeat performance.
FC Barcelona is now the LaLiga leader after Real Madrid failed to break the knot with Osasuna. This is a real missed opportunity for Karim Benzema to catch up with Barcelona talisman, Robert Lewandowski who is currently leading the Pichichi race.
To be precise, the Laliga will be determined by El Classico because I clearly don’t think that FC Barcelona is going to leave the first place spot for Real Madrid again.
