Real Madrid defeats Granada CF 2-0 in LaLiga action

Real Madrid put on another show at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo scoring tonight’s goals and leading Real Madrid to a 2-0 victory against Granada CF, who currently went under new management going into today’s LaLiga match. With today’s result, Los Blancos extends its undefeated LaLiga record to nine and ties Girona FC for the number one spot on the table with 38 points.

Díaz Starts and Scores

The Spaniard was able to find the back of the net in the 26th minute after a brilliant pass by the maestro himself, Toni Kroos. Díaz played Kroos with a slick one-two pass action before receiving the ball just inside the box and calmly chipping it over the Granada keeper.

With 13 appearances in the season so far, Díaz has gone on to make four starts for the Spanish giants, scoring in his last three starts (two in LaLiga and one in UCL).

Rodrygo Keeps Shining

Rodrygo would then seal the deal in the second half, taking advantage of a rebound shot from Jude Bellingham. The Brazilian winger would put it past the keeper and into the back of the net, registering his sixth goal in LaLiga.

His streaky form continues as he has been involved in 11 goals in his last five matches, marking five goals and three assists in three LaLiga fixtures and two goals and one assist in two Champions League matches.

At the moment, Rodrygo is the second top goalscorer for Los Blancos, having three UCL goals and six LaLiga goals under his name.

Manager Visits the Bernabeu for the First Time

Granada entered Matchday 15 with a new coach in the helm after sacking Paco López for the team’s seven-point table performance so far this season. A replacement was quickly found in Uruguayan Alexander Medina, a manager who is known for his aggressive, high press, and direct ball tactics.
