And Bellingham has poor execution (surprise!).
In round 15, Real came out with a fairly offensive lineup, without a pronounced defensive player. Due to the injuries of Tchouameni and Camavinga, Kroos was the most defensive midfielder. And it was he who was in charge of the key attacking action in the first half. The German delivered a brilliant one-touch penetrating pass. Brahim Díaz faced the goalkeeper one on one and confidently beat the goalkeeper. And for the assistance, the Spaniard thanked Kroos by shining his boot: a legendary celebration.

At this point Granada had already had to change their goalkeeper. In the seventh minute, Fernández-Cavada was injured. He did not engage in single combat, but rather calmly played with his defenders through passes. It turned out that the guests lost their goalkeeper literally out of nowhere. It is true that you have to understand that Real Madrid lost two goalkeepers at the same time this season (Courtois and Kepa), so they hardly felt a sense of unfair advantage.
Brahim Díaz not only scored in this match, but stood out throughout the match. The attacking midfielder returned this summer from a loan spell in Milan, but he spent very little time on the pitch (180 minutes in 14 rounds). Now, due to injuries to prominent players, he entered the starting eleven and tried to shoot more at goal. And in the 42nd minute he made a great pass to Bellingham: he passed the ball with his heel and between the defender’s legs. The Englishman was close to scoring, but still missed the assist of the month.
At the end of the first half, the stands literally erupted with indignation and began to whistle. The fact is that the referee sent the teams to the locker room, without allowing the locals to take the corner. The first half ended with the television clock reading 50:03 with five minutes added.
At the beginning of the second half, Rodrigo ended the intrigue of the game. It all started when Bellingham failed to take advantage of another great opportunity (what’s going on?), and the Brazilian smashed the ball towards the goal from a more awkward position. Rodrigo has gotten into top shape: 7+4 in the goal+pass system in his last five games with Real.

In the remaining time, Madrid confidently controlled the match (possession: 71% vs. 29%) and did not allow Granada to create anything. Valverde didn’t take advantage of the big opportunity, but it was a sure victory anyway. Thanks to her, Real caught up with Girona: the teams have 38 points after 15 games. Barcelona (one game less) and Atlético de Madrid (two games less), who meet on Sunday, are seven points behind.
