The Uruguayan Alexander Medina, former coach of Talleres and Vélez, landed in European football. This Saturday he made his debut as coach of Granada, a team that is currently in the relegation zone in the Spanish league. And the premiere was not what was desired due to the logical result against a very heavy rival: Real Madrid at the Bernabéu. Ugh…
It was 2-0 for those led by Carlo Ancelotti, with goals from Brahim Díaz and Rodrygo. Real solved it with a couple of geniuses: at 25 minutes, Toni Kroos rubbed the lamp to give a pass between the Andalusian defenders and Díaz controlled with his right, threatened to shoot to the left and surpassed the Portuguese André Ferreira, placing the ball on the other side. And reaching the hour mark, the former Manchester City and Milan playmaker made a great play on the left, his cross was finished off by Jude Bellingham, but Ferreira stopped it. The rebound was left to Rodrygo, who surpassed the rival goalkeeper with his right foot to seal the duel.
With this victory, Real Madrid (fifth win in a row and thirteen games undefeated) has 38 points and shares the leadership with the surprising Girona, who this Saturday defeated Valencia 2-1.
Hard work for Medina in Granada, who barely accumulates seven points in 15 presentations. Today I would be losing the category (three points behind Mallorca, outside the red zone). Can he save his new team?
