Madrid fight back to beat Villarreal 3-2 in La Liga
According to our predictions for Villarreal vs Real Madrid La Liga match, Real Madrid will win this match by 2-1.
“In the end we come away with three points against an opponent that can make things hard for you”, Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said. “We want to keep picking up three points in order to win the title”.
“After Gareth Bale’s goal, Madrid were 2-1 down and the penalty controversy then took place”.
Zidane’s team equalled Barcelona’s record from as far back as 1944 of 44 straight games scoring at least one goal.
Simeone has still never come out on top in 11 La Liga meetings with Barca, and his Atletico Madrid were also eliminated from the Copa del Rey by the Catalans last month, despite dominating for much of the two-legged semifinal. The most controversial moment of the match, a key turning point, came when Villarreal’s Bruno was adjudged to have handled in the area, with Cristiano Ronaldo converting the penalty to level the scores.
And the travelling side continued to push for a victor which they got when Marcelo’s left-wing delivery was met by Morata’s head, with Fernandez unable to prevent the chance squirming beyond him.
The Italian manager has always been a big fan, and whilst Mourinho standing firm on De Gea may see Madrid move for Courtois, the end situation could be one which sits well with Conte. It was his 27th goal against the Madrid club.
Los Blancos looked as though they would be sacrificing their long held top spot in La Liga to bitter rivals Barcelona, who had won their own fixture with a last minute strike just hours earlier.
“These are cuts from the press of Madrid by the way“, he says in an attempt to add legitimacy to the claim.
Real captain Ramos said that he was not surprised by his global teammate’s outburst.
‘They did very well and changed the game for us. They led at the break in six of those victories, though they only scored more than three times against lowly Granada.
Sevilla are this season’s surprise title contenders, having only suffered four league defeats this term against Granada, Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona and Espanyol. The team will try to win its fifth in a row in the league when it hosts relegation-threatened Sporting Gijon on Wednesday. Madrid will face Celta Vigo next.
