Real Madrid Continues Winning Streak with Victory over Braga in Champions League
Real Madrid has maintained its perfect record in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League with a 2-1 victory over Braga in Portugal on Tuesday night. The win comes after a 1-1 draw against Sevilla in their previous match and just before the highly anticipated El Clasico against Barcelona. Vinicius was the star of the night as he played a crucial role in both goals scored by Rodrigo and Jude Bellingham.
Speaking after the match, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti praised the talent of Rodrigo and emphasized the importance of supporting him during difficult times. “Young players go through ups and downs, and it’s our responsibility to help them. I have no doubt that Rodrigo will bounce back soon,” Ancelotti stated. He also assured that Bellingham’s slight injury would not jeopardize his availability for the upcoming El Clasico.
Ancelotti further commended Vinicius for his outstanding performance, highlighting his goal from outside the penalty area, which unfortunately was disallowed. The coach expressed his satisfaction with the team’s defense, particularly mentioning the solid performance of the back four and the contribution of Eduardo Kamabinga.
Vinicius himself shared his thoughts on the match, highlighting the significance of winning an away game in the Champions League. He expressed his delight for Rodrigo’s goal, calling him his “brother” and acknowledging the goal’s importance in regaining confidence. Vinicius also emphasized the team’s overall performance and the importance of strengthening their confidence ahead of the El Clasico.
Rodrigo, who ended an 11-game goal drought with his goal against Braga, expressed his relief at finally finding the back of the net. He believed that he had been facing a period of bad luck and appreciated both the coach’s continuous belief in him and the support he received. Rodrigo expressed gratitude for the encouragement that helped him regain his confidence.
Real Madrid’s triumph over Braga in the Champions League further solidifies their strong position in the group stage. With the El Clasico against Barcelona on the horizon, the team’s winning momentum and the return of key players to form will undoubtedly boost their morale and determination.
