Real Madrid will repeat its continental presence next year by finishing the league season in third position after beating Villarreal at the Alfredo Di Stfano (1-0) and benefit from the defeat of Atltico de Madrid against Barcelona at the Johan Cruyff (2-1).
White solved the first unknown in the equation by beating Villarreal at homeone more pique from Alberto Toril, who precisely made his debut on the merengue bench against Yellow Submarine in the first round (after the loan of David Aznar) with a 0-2 victory at the Mini Estadi Castellón. The Cordoba technician opted for a brave approach (1-3-4-3) how long it takes to reap its rewards. Villarreal showed from the start that their visit to the capital was not touristy and they did damage to Salma’s boots hitting from the second line. The ripped by the right lane of Athenea del Castillo, once the most active of hers, tried to give life to an excessively flat game on the local side. The clearest chances were born from the boots of the Cantabrian, dribbling past his marks in one-on-one and dishing out assists that nobody managed to take advantage of.
With two minutes to go, the target arrived after a play in which the braid avoided a possible penalty on Kosovare Asllani that the white bench claimed furiously and pitted another on Esther Gonzlez -committed by Pamela Tajonar- that the Swedish ended up scoring. Before the two were used up, Real Madrid were able to increase their lead, but Athenea del Castillo’s point-blank shot came out of her boots and Olga Carmona slipped when shooting with the whole goal for her.
Real Madrid looked superior in the second half, but did not finish giving the finishing touch. Kosovare Asllani and Claudia Zornoza had the second goal in their boots, but their shots grazed the wood. The brief income made each yellow attack lived with anguish in the stands of a Di Stfano pending at all times what happens in Barcelona. The clearest was Belén Martínez five minutes from the endwho, after winning his back against the central defenders, defined with a centered shot that forced Misa Rodríguez to put on her gloves. White finished with overbooked of defenses and defensive midfielders fastening a result that is worth them to return to Europe.
