Without complications, Real Madrid respected the house and beat Granada 2-0 at the Bernabéu on matchday 15 LaLiga. The 0-0 remained until the 26th minute, when Brahim Díaz received an exquisite filtered pass from Toni Kroos, who defined it in front of the goalkeeper.
The second goal for the Baisers would come as an addition. In the 57th minute, Rodrygo took advantage of a rebound from Raúl Fernández after parrying a shot from Jude Bellingham to break Granada’s goal.
With this goal, the Brazilian extended his goalscoring streak and scored seven goals in Real Madrid’s last five games.
The 14-time Champions League winner had several opportunities to extend the lead on the scoreboard, but the hosts had to settle for a 2-0 win.
“I haven’t bet with anyone this season. The team has to work together, no matter who scores, it’s all about working together. And that’s what I like best, there is a commitment that allows us to keep clean sheets and take advantage of the work of the attackers,” Ancelotti explained after the game.
With this result the real Madrid regained the top of the Spanish tournament with the same result as Girona. The Rojiblancos, on the other hand, are in the penultimate place in the table. The Meringues can rest at the top of LaLiga as Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid meet today (3pm).
In addition, the capital team has 9 consecutive games without defeat in LaLiga (7 wins and 2 draws). The last time the Baisers fell in the tournament was on September 24th.
As if that wasn’t enough, the painting Ancelotti consolidates itself as the team with the fewest goals conceded in the current Spanish competition. The Madrid team has conceded 9 goals in 15 games played.
The next matchday sees the Meringues host Real Betis at the Benito Villamarín Stadium on Saturday, while Granada hosts Athletic Club at the Nuevo Los Cármenes Stadium next Sunday.
Real Madrid unbeaten at home
So far, the Merengue team in LaLiga 2023-2024 does not know what it is like to lose at the Santiago Bernabéu. Real Madrid have played 7 home games, including 6 wins and 1 draw. The only team to surpass Carlo Ancelotti’s side as hosts is Atlético de Madrid, who have won all their games at the Cívitas Metropolitano in the Spanish tournament. Despite not scoring against Granada, Bellingham remains the top scorer in the current Spanish league.
