Real Madrid have huffed and they’ve puffed, and they’ve finally found a way through against Rayo Vallecano.
It was a brilliant goal in the end, with Karim Benzema and Vinicius combining in a beautiful, lightning fast 1-2. Those two are carrying Carlo Ancelotti’s team in attack for the most part this season, and without them this game looked certain to peter out as a draw.
This is an important moment in the title race, as Madrid get another game closer to the finish line, with further winnable games to come.

Real Madrid is lacking the strategic technical planning with the massive world class player resources at their disposal. Also Madrid has a very strong financial resource. Madrid has lost that touch of play for supporters to develop confidence in them.
