Real Madrid’s victory in the Madrid derby at the Bernab\u00e9u keeps Arbeloa’s team in the fight for the League. To the meringues nothing else was worth it<\/strong> It was not the victory to continue maintaining his particular pursuit of Bar\u00e7a and he had to sweat a lot to beat his red-and-white neighbor. <\/p>\n

The situation that the Colchoneros faced was curious: if they won, they would ruin the championship for their archenemy in their own home\u2014an entirely appealing plan for any fan\u2014\u2026 By losing, they force Bar\u00e7a to maintain league tension<\/strong> and not relax any day to focus on the Champions League. Atl\u00e9tico’s Champions League qualification is practically assured, despite losing third place in the League. <\/p>\n

With nine days left, FC Barcelona depends on itself<\/strong> to revalidate their league title. Real Madrid, on the other hand, does not depend on itself, even winning at the Camp Nou needs another cul\u00e9 setback and that could happen next day with Bar\u00e7a’s visit to the Metropolitano.<\/p>\n

Rojiblancos and Blaugranas are going to face each other even in three times in less than two weeks<\/strong>one in the League and two in the Champions League. The first of the duels comes with matchday 30, next Saturday in the red and white fiefdom. Four days later the duel will be repeated at the Camp Nou, with the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. And finally, the second leg. <\/p>\n

Simeone’s men have already been able to knock Hansi Flick’s men out of the Copa del Rey, why not think that they can upset them again in the Champions League or the League. This is what they cling to in the white house.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>🗣️ Arbeloa: \u201cI don’t know if Vini is in the best moment of his career, but he will be close to it\u201d<\/p>\n

The Real Madrid coach has praised Vinicius’s match against Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid, in which he scored two goals: “Another great game, another demonstration of brave character” pic.twitter.com\/qEZeDLntP4<\/a>\u201c<\/span><\/p>\n

Hence the joy in the stands when Munuera Montero signaled the end of the game at the Bernab\u00e9u and Arbeloa’s men completed the comeback, despite finishing with one less player after the expulsion of the scorer Valverde.<\/p>\n

The whites will travel without one of their fittest players to Mallorca next day. The visit to the Camp Nou is scheduled on the calendar for May 10, on day 35<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We could attend that day, with three days left until the conclusion of the championship, an entire final for the League. Don’t let uncertainty be broken in favor of emotion. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
