Real Madrid took the three points from Sadar in another game in which Vinícius was in every situation. He scored a double with a sensational second goal and was able to score several more because he was once again the most destabilizing player. Once again, at some moments the Brazilian was on the verge of expulsion with his protests to the referee, Martínez Munuera who, when he got fed up with one of his rudenesses, gave him the yellow card.
Sadar booed Vinícius at all times, who responded to the stands with derogatory and ironic gestures, asking them to continue whistling and laughing. Genius and figure.
Pamplona is never a favorite dish for the whites because of all the crowd pressure and this afternoon Madrid only had a bad time in the first half. The game had a nervous air in those first 45 minutes, a back and forth in which although Madrid had more control they were almost never able to play what they like. In the second half Osasuna’s wind failed and it was a placid ride for the leader.
For Ancelotti’s team it was the last game without Bellingham, who was thus serving his second game of suspension for the red card at Mestalla. With Joselu out of the squad at the last minute due to gastroenteritis, the only new addition to the eleven was the presence of Tchouaméni at center back accompanying Rüdiger, which sent Nacho to the bench.
If the coaches had a plan, it immediately blew up because in ten minutes there were two goals from mistakes that are not usually made.
Shortly after the initial whistle, in the third minute, Vinícius stole the ball from Catena, who behaved like a schoolboy. The Brazilian faced Sergio Herrera and beat him skillfully with a cross shot.
Instead of settling down after the goal, Madrid immediately let themselves be tied by a corner kick that Moncayola took and defended with his eyes, something strange because the whites have not scored a goal from a set piece so far. seasonal. On this occasion, Herrando extended the lead and Budimir only had to push him at the far post because he had no mark on him.
The 1-1 score turned Sadar on, but Osasuna did not know how to take advantage of it. The rojillos went up, leaving many spaces. Vinícius caught them on a textbook counterattack after a great pass from Rudiger and with everything in his favor he scored poorly against Sergio Herrera, who blocked his shot.
In one of those comings and goings, Madrid was going to take the lead once again, at seventeen minutes, in a play that Brahim started, Valverde was able to pass backwards and there Carvajal appeared to take a shot from the outside against the that the Navarrese defense could do nothing, surprised by the quality detail of the Leganés player.
With half an hour left, the game became a little calmer because Madrid began to have a little more control and Osasuna did not find many ways to do damage except for a poisonous shot by Arnaiz, a thread very well responded to by Lunin.
The bad thing for Madrid was that Vinícius began to take center stage with his worst face. He asked for a penalty for an action by Herrando and that seemed to finally unsettle him and he began to gesticulate and protest everything. After a clear foul by Tchouaméni, he continued with his protests in the center of the field and Martínez Munuera showed him the yellow card in the 41st minute. The card is the fifth, it completes the cycle and will not allow him to play on the 31st against Athletic Club at the Santiago Bernabéu
In the second part another story was written. Madrid commanded from the first moment and Osasuna’s spirit disappeared as if by magic,
Madrid put the red area close very soon. He began to chew the game and the Sadar fell silent. It seemed impossible that the goal would not come soon and two came in close succession. In the 61st minute it was 1-3 on a ride by Brahim and the 1-4 was the best of the game. Vinícius entered the area with speed and defined with a soft touch against Herrera. The ball came in slowly. Vinicius celebrated by putting his hand to his ear in the middle of a monumental whistle.
From there there was very little, except massive changes in the two teams. Osasuna scored in added time through Iñaki Muñoz and Arda Güler, who had just come out, almost scored from the center of the field with a shot that went to the crossbar. Another great detail from the Turkish. Barcelona will start tomorrow at the Metropolitano, eleven points behind Madrid.
