And in other Liga news, Almeria win today to get out of that bottom spot. Still relegated though. In the process Sergio Arribas bagged a brace taking him to 9 goals and 4 assists in 22 starts. His playing time was very mixed and inconsistent and he played a number of different positions this season. Curios to see where he ends up assuming Almeria sell, but I assume they’ll be obligated to.
In other stats news, Nico Williams adds another goal to his tally which leaves him with 5 goals and 11 assists in 29 starts. Helluva season for the kid and I can’t imagine someone not triggering his release clause assuming it’s the rumored 50 million.
Bellingham was a non factor tonight, pretty much playing walking pace throughout the match, with little effort.
None of the Real Madrid players really tried much to win the match, but as it was all about Kroos farewell and waiting for the CL final, it's sort of understandable.
One might wonder why Ancelotti didn’t make the rotations, but that’s generally not the case and a lot of players don’t like it. IMO it’s smart to play your starters.
Last match for Nacho as well. I’m more interested in where Juan Miranda ends up though. Likely his last match with Betis.
