Real Madrid leaves the tour of the United States with another defeat, the second in a row, which left a taste similar to that of the Clásico: too many facilities behind, many chances generated and few converted. If after 50 seconds you have already conceded a goal, it is usually a sign that the game has not been entered as it should. It all started with a loss by Modric, which gave way, everything is said, to a quick and fantastic play by Juventus, between Kean, Chiesa and McKennie, who ended up shooting at the post so that the rebound fell on Kean and he only had to push it .

It didn’t take long for Real Madrid to respond, especially in the figure of Vinicius, who once again was the most dangerous footballer, even though he played on the inside, as a striker, and not as a winger. The Brazilian soon forced a yellow card for his compatriot Danilo and tested Szczesny’s reflexes, who had to fly to avoid Vini’s inside shot.

The match had a lot of rhythm and at that moment it came and went, with a Juve that stood up and played well. And that he found the facilities of his rival again in a transition in which Madrid withdrew badly and Chiesa and McKennie took advantage of it to mess it up, and that the American Weah, son of the legendary African footballer, scored. Ancelotti changed many players regarding the match with Barcelona, ​​he put in a midfield that was more technical than physical and it didn’t work out for him. Welingham returned to play in that 1-4-4-2 as the attacking point of the rhombus and although he left details, it faded.

The Camping World Stadium crowd chanted “Madrid, Madrid”, and Madrid reacted furiously in search of the goal, with the arrivals of Fran García from the left and the dribbles and runs from Vinicius, who found the right one after a pass millimetric and spectacular from Kroos. The Brazilian won the back of the defense easily and resolved with a mince. Joselu had had it before, who sent off a very clear opportunity with his left.

Juve changed half the team at half-time and for almost the entire second half they basically dedicated themselves to defending. He burned the ball, he couldn’t get it out, and Madrid’s offense was constant. Joselu had the clearest chance again after a combination between Bellingham and Modric, but his shot hit the post again. He did not stop entangling Vinicius and the shots from outside the area were another resource. The most important was one from Valverde to the crossbar.

The passing of the minutes and the usual carousel of substitutions, which tends to distort this type of duel a bit, made Madrid fade away, although there was one last attempt by Rodrygo. Ancelotti’s team also messed up in search of an equalizer and paid for it with the decisive counter, which Vlahovic finished off.

Real Madrid left 3-1 down in a game in which they shot 33 times, compared to 11 by the Italians; and in which he took 15 corners, his rival three times.
