Thus Real Madrid wins, Champions version: the controversial goal disallowed against Leipzig and the brutal definition of Brahim

It seems that in 2024, every victory for Real Madrid brings controversy. As in many Spanish football fields, they shouted “So, so, Madrid wins” Given the discussions generated by refereeing decisions in their matches, this Tuesday he moved to Champions League. At the start of the round of 16 of the series final against Leipzigin Germany, Merengue managed to escape from being behind in the first half, then a great goal from Brahim and saves from Lunin allowed them to win 1-0taking advantage of revenge in Spain.

He miraculously saved himself from a free kick that put everything against Real Madrid. It hadn’t been two minutes since the start when VAR avoided the worst start. The shot from the crescent of the area finds the shot at will in Sesko’s net. Rodrygo breaks the offside but the referee’s video He interpreted Henrichs’ illegal position or his touch on Lunin in the six yard box as decisive.

Real Madrid’s major losses were expected at the RB Arena. The absence of the starting central defenders, with Nacho not stepping up when he should exercise leadership. Suffering on the sign, irregular at the beginning of the work. Lunin, already Carlo Ancelotti’s constant striker for the goal, shows firmness to slow down the German momentum.

With a direct game that he found in Dani Olmo, still far from his identity, and Openda the wings to fly, Sesko highlighted the shortcomings of the central defense of Madrid. Lunin saved the clearest shot with his feet as Leipzig forgave their lack of attitude. On the ground safely before Henrichs’ low shot from in front.

There were twenty minutes of uncertainty. Real Madrid fell into the trap proposed by Leipzig when they were interested in adding chloroform to the game. He escaped his poor reading of the game as soon as he found the ball. He woke up with a header from Tchoauméni following a corner. A powerful but targeted shot from Kroos. Fede Valverde emerged with his physical potential. Vinicius was starting to face.

Respect grew for the king of Europe who found ball possession a way to reduce the level of suffering. Brahim took a while to appear, sacrificing himself in defensive actions. One of his robberies gave rise to the feeling of harming his rival. Vinícius put it behind the arrival of Rodrygo, who finished badly with a left foot on one of those days in which he was denied in definition.

The clearest opportunity arose from Brahim’s vision, close to half-time, culminating with a hasty ‘Vini’. It was confirmation that the worst was already over for Real Madrid and he confirmed it at the beginning of the second act. When the man from Malaga brought out his magic. Powerful in emerging victorious from a strong cross, rising without releasing the ball to face his rivals. Starting from the right, moving inwards thinking about the opponent’s goal. He doubles his lead and unleashes a left-footed shot to the long post, unreachable for a shot from Gulacsi.

He imposed strength as a differential factor against a Leipzig team who received an excessive punishment. She felt it the whole game. Frustration fueled by Lunin’s firmness, which continues to grow. He took a shot from Olmo and showed reflexes against Sesko. Firmly from above in every cross from the opposing wingers. He quickly exits the area to avoid the equalizer when Sesko wins over Tchouaméni, once again a wildcard for ‘Carletto’ and the one who took over the stripes.

Feeling the goal was covered as when Lunin was, Real Madrid managed to give the final blow to the equalizer on the counterattack. Always Valverde who steals or launches attacks, with Kroos’ precision in passing without errors. Rodrygo was unable to connect, looking for the strength to shoot wide when he had everything to score after Orban’s loss at the start of the action and Vinícius’ gift.

Every German attempt crashed into Lunin, decisive with an extension to Sesko in the action in which Brahim was injured and Leipzig attacked instead of throwing the ball, and the post prevented Vinícius from scoring, after two exquisite feints and a soft touch in definition. Joselu finished the last with power, near the corner. Real Madrid got a nice haul after the doubt.
