Men against Boys feat Real Madrid!

Time and time again we have said that what Mr. Ancelotti is doing with the team is not just great but more than that. Players like Vinicius Junior, Eder Militao and Luka Jovic were very poor under Zinedine Zidane last season. The Serbian was also sent on loan to his former club. This season after the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti, they are looking like a beast. Vinicius is winning games for the club and Jovic did exactly what he had to do against Inter Milan. Eder Militao has completely helped Madridistas forget about Varane. This new Real Madrid is looking like the favourites to win in all the tournaments they are playing. Something they were not since Cristiano Ronaldo left the club.

Against Atletico Madrid, the Blanco’s registered 2-0 victory on Sunday and with that they are now 18 points clear of their arch-rival Barcelona, 13 points clear of Atletico Madrid and 8 points clear of Sevilla. With 42 points in their bag from 17 games, Real Madrid is comfortably sitting at the top of the table.

In the 16th minute of the match, Karim Benzema put Real Madrid ahead after scoring from a fantastic volley. The second goal came from a counter attack as Marco Asensio finished it in style. Vinicius, the player of the month in November, assisted both the goals and with that Real Madrid have now won 10 games in a row. The man of the match however was Thibaut Courtois after the Belgian made some brilliant saves to keep the lead intact. Luka Modric, as usual, had a brilliant game. The Croatian got a standing ovation at the Bernabeu and the rival fans joined the Madridistas and clapped for Modric after the game. According to reports, his contract will very soon be renewed and that will keep him at Bernabeu till 2023.

Now, the reason behind such a headline is that Real Madrid has been this dominant ever since the Italian took charge of Bernabeu. Even during his first tenure, Real Madrid was playing like a champion and in the end; he got them the La Decima, something that the club was desperate to win for almost 12 years. After beating Barcelona, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid are the favourites to win the championship. If they don’t, that will be quite a surprise. As there’s no team in Spain that looks as good as the 13 times Champions League winner. It’s indeed Men versus boys whenever the Los Blanco’s are taking the field.
