Rodrygo continues Real Madrid’s title-winning campaign by scoring a brace against Athletic Bilbao. Reviving the interest of the fans in him, the young Brazilian produced a stellar performance. With this victory in hand, Real Madrid continues to cement their position at the top of the table.
Real Madrid Continues their Winning Form
Real Madrid resumes their winning streak after the international break with a two-goal win over Athletic Bilbao. The Los Blancos restored their eight-point lead at the top of the table. With Barcelona and Girona behind them, Real Madrid will hope to avoid any slip ups.
They started the game without one of their Talisman, Vinicius Jr. He was out of the squad for some unknown reasons. Rodrygo replaced him at the left-wing position. Also, Bellingham and Brahim Diaz returned back into the starting lineup.
Real Madrid led with a sublime goal 2 minutes into the game, thanks to Rodrygo. Brahim Diaz provided the assist, as Rodrygo scored an outside box strike. The early goal gave Real Madrid an advantage to control the game. Although Athletic Bilbao gave their all to equalize, they were unable to pull one back. Chances from Inaki Williams nearly brought them back into the game, but they weren’t clinical enough.
Soon Bellingham releases Rodrygo who happens to be freed with a lot of space. Afterwards, Rodrygo slots in the second goal in the 73rd minute allowing Madrid to strengthen their lead.
Rodrygo’s Master class
There has been speculation that Rodrygo might be traded this summer. Although Coach Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed such a possibility. The possible arrival of Kylian Mbappe will cause an excess of options for them on the left wing. Some fans have tried to scapegoat Rodrygo as the one who will make way for the star.
The stunning solo performance of the Brazilian today rejuvenated the fans’ interest in him. Scoring two exceptional goals and providing an exceptional display. Surely a lot of fans will still want him to stay.
Although his future may still be uncertain, there are high chances he’d still remain in the club.
More hurdles ahead
Real Madrid will continue their campaign in La Liga and the Champions League this month. There are mouthwatering fixtures ahead for them this month. First up will be in the Champion’s League on the 9th of April. The defending champions Mancity will pay them a visit at the Bernabeu. Four days later, they’ll travel to play Osasuna.
Consequently, they’ll travel by Etihad Airways to play a return leg against Mancity. That weekend, Barcelona will visit them for the 254th El Classico meeting. Real Madrid will be hoping to get maximum points and win these games. This will give them a real possibility of winning their long-desired treble.
