Dominating start to the game for Real Madrid, going 2-0 up. Espanyol with a lucky goal. Then we went on the back foot. Picked up momentum again and a huge goal from Benzema right before halftime. Sucking the life out of the stadium and Espanyol. Killer goal.
What impresses me about Vinicius is even though it wasn’t his best match today, he still looked a constant threat. That offers the team a very different dimension.
Direct Red Card for Raphael Varane for tackling on Garcia. Big blow for Madrid for both the remaining match and next match as Ramos also doubtful because of an injury.
