Excitement is building for a football spectacle
Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid squad comes into this match on the back of an impressive run, winning their last four La Liga matches and aiming for a fifth consecutive victory. The team, boasting stars like Vinicius Jr., Kylian Mbappé, and Rodrygo, has been in fantastic form, giving fans plenty of reasons to be excited. However, their last match against Alavés was far from smooth sailing.
In the first half, Real Madrid dominated the game, taking a 3-0 lead. A shaky second half nearly cost them the game as Alavés managed two equalising scores that ended the game 3-2.
But Real Madrid opened it through an unlikely source in Lucas Vázquez, heading home in an exceptionally neat cutback from Vinicius.
Mbappé promptly doubled Madrid's lead just before halftime, capitalizing on a nice combination with Jude Bellingham. Rodrygo increased the lead shortly after the break, this time putting on full display his agility to slot past Alavés defenders. But Carlos Protesoni and Kike García leveled things for Alavés before Madrid scrambled in the dying minutes to coast to victory.
Players to watch
Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé will be one to watch, with his electrifying pace and precise finishing likely to cause problems for the Alavés defense. Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo have also been pivotal in recent games, and their combination up front could make the difference.
Meanwhile, Alavés has proved itself no pushover. The solidity of its team has been built further with a sparkling performance by Carlos Protesoni to means that the Real Madrid defense, anchored by the commanding Antonio Rüdiger and Éder Militão, will have to stay sharp.
There is a formidable Real Madrid XI, which might make Courtois; Mendy; Valverde, and Tchouaméni start for the game. The clash of Soler, Melendo, and Joselu must bring all the skills along to contain Madrid's three attacking trident, although Alavés is more than resilient, especially after a recent home win over Sevilla.
Craze and Excitement
Tension around this match has been palpable. Fans are keen to see Real Madrid continue the unbeaten run in La Liga, second in the league, only behind Barcelona. Alavés, on the other hand, is flying high, with an impressive finish against Real Sociedad and Sevilla, currently fifth-placed in the league.
With no European commitments Alavés has been able to focus entirely on the domestic league, and they will be keen to upset one of Spain's football giants.
It is the warm-up match for the all-important Madrider against Atlético Madrid next weekend. Hence, it shall add more significance to the game for Los Blancos to continue the winning spree. Passionate blues and whites of the Bernabéu would look forward to the encounter, and the visitors too cherish an expectation of an epic match.
