LIGA – Despite Kylian Mbappé's red, Real Madrid resumes to stay in contact with Barça

In a particularly chopped and weak match on occasions, Real Madrid got out of the Alavés trap (0-1) on the 31st day of Liga. On a shot wounded in the 18m, Eduardo Camavonga gave a decisive advantage to his team (34th). The two teams finished 10. Kylian Mbappé was excluded (38th) for a foot on the Blanco Tibia. He risks several suspension matches. Real Madrid returns four points from Barça while Alavès remains at a point in the red zone.

The main thing is there. After three games without victory, Real Madrid has set itself with its victory over the lawn of Alavés (0-1). In a chopped meeting, marked by many faults and two red boxes, the White House found the solution by Camavonga, elected man of the match. With a shot wrapped at 18 meters, he sent the ball into the small right net of Owono (34th). Carlo Ancelotti turned for this meeting. No Vinicius or Bellingham at the start. It felt in the proposed game.

The accounting operation is good for Real Madrid but the service is to be reviewed. Apart from a goal on a corner refused for a fault of Rudiger (19th), Real was harmless. Arda Guller failed to control the ball on an opening from Rüdiger (9th) and the lean raids of Rodrygo (15th and 16th) were checked by the defense of Alaves.

The locals have never managed to put themselves in a dangerous position. Carlos Vicente on his right wing has long struck without finding a solution in the surface. His strike at the 35th came to approach the amount of courtes. For the rest, the Deportivo game has confined itself to centers for Kike, including the few heads (50th 58th 80th) arrived in the Gloves de Courtois.

What happened in the head of Kylian Mbappé at this 38th minute? Did he badly cashed the opposing provocations and rough duels? Whatever, his foot on the Blanco Tibia is an inconsiderate gesture that deserves expulsion. He will miss several matches, certainly. Before that, the attacker was invisible, unable to find a solution to the opposing defense.

In the second half, the defender of Alavés Manuel Sanchez joined him in the locker room. By wanting to control a ball for Vinicius, the Spaniard set foot on the calf of the Brazilian (70th). At the end of the match, on a 3 -to -go -for -the -way, Jude Belligham could have aggravated the brand but Owono diverted the strike from English. Before his return match against Arsenal on Wednesday, Real Madrid (2nd) returns 4 points from Barça. The Deportivo (17th) retains a point ahead of the red zone.
