Real Madrid hosts Granada this Saturday, in a match corresponding to the fifteenth day of LaLiga EA Sports. The whites will defend their league lead at the Santiago Berbabéu stadium, after Girona’s draw against Athletic Bilbao (1-1), which takes them to the top of the standings.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team wants to defend its place amid a plague of casualties but with Jude Bellingham in charge. The Englishman counts his games by goals. In total, he has 15 goals in 16 games, which is his highest scorer in his still short sports career.
“The truth is that Bellingham surprises every day. Each party. Not just to us, but to everyone. Bellingham is a gift to football. The entire football world is delighted to see a player with this potential and this positive image; I hope I can continue like this,” said the white coach at a press conference.
Despite the losses, Real Madrid receives Granada, which is going through a turbulent time: penultimate in LaLiga EA Sports and with a new coach, the Uruguayan Alexander ‘Cacique’ Medina, replacement for Paco López. The Andalusian team has only won one victory so far this season, but in August.
The only time the Andalusian team won in the league tournament at the Santiago Bernabéu dates back to January 1974. In addition, they have lost their last fourteen matches against Real Madrid. In fact, last season he saved the points thanks to a goal from Marco Asensio when the game was entering the last quarter of an hour.
The match between Real Madrid and Granada, corresponding to the fifteenth day of LaLiga EA Sports, will be played this Saturday, December 2, at 6:30 p.m. at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. The match can be seen on television on DAZN and can also be followed live through the La Vanguardia website.
