With less rain and Morata

If you advance the Real Madrid had marked the visit of Valencia Ciudat as one of the tricky games of the season, the state of the pitch became completely flooded the duel in a battle in which the fight would be imposed and delivery and technical quality. Finally, Real Madrid beat Levante 1-2 with a goal by Morata in the final minutes that undid the tie. A win needed to keep taking on the horizon at Barça.

Yesterday could not shine. The ball rolled smoothly so it was impossible to submit for your football-based rival. Xabi Alonso quickly understood, and was the best adapted to the conditions of the pitch. To do so, it relied on an outstanding Essien, whose incorporation into the template at the last minute as it continues to confirm a tremendous success for Mourinho. The downside to the Ghanaian is that most only pays attention to him when things do not go well and can give the odd stick, but when its work perfectly fulfills the same did not recognize. Same with Coentrao, no one will speak of today, but the fact is he signed a perfect performance in their work. At least for one day, no one will be confronted with what it cost.

The game started with controversy. In the fight for the ball, David Navarro elbowed Cristiano Ronaldo in the eye, mainly by creating a spectacular breakthrough in the eyebrow by the Portuguese bled profusely. After so many years, we all know, no one is aware that the Levante player was and is an aggressive player. If the blow is voluntary or not, only knows Navarro. Anyway, should be espulsado.

Despite the scare, Cristiano showed his courage by returning to the field, sacrificing for the team. And the Madrid thanked him, because his was the 0-1. In a dead-ball situation, Cristiano controlled a poor clearance levantinista masterfully with the thigh, and while throwing the ball to avoid a puddle would spoil the occasion, spliced ​​a forehand against Munúa could do nothing.

Cristiano had to stay in the locker room in the second half as a result of the coup had lost too much visibility. In its place came to form a trivote Albiol in the center of the field with Mourinho claimed that attach to your computer, and try to defend the lead sentence with the speed of Di María Callejón and acting as a great striker.

The second part was being in total command Madrid, and had several chances to kill off the game-most set pieces, such as Pepe's shot against the crossbar, or another shortly after Sergio Ramos explained that as yet no one could not see door. However, the lift tables get put on the scoreboard through Angel, hand in hand with Casillas after a great assist from Martins.

He complicated things to Madrid, which he saw as the minutes passed and needed a field goal in a poor condition, hardened against an opponent, and without their best men to attack. Was then turned to Mourinho Morata. Replaced The youth Özil in a last attempt to take all three points. And just off the grass, flawlessly finished off the network a perfectly executed free kick by Xabi Alonso. Xabi Alonso A few minutes earlier had missed a penalty committed on Alley, a failure that was possibly done outside the area.

Morata furniture saved the white set in a tough match and complicated, which greatly strengthened the leaves Madrid morally, and the young striker confirming that can make things. while Barca continue adding threes , while Mourinho can not afford any results beyond victory.
