VIDEO: Defenders only as spectators. Vinicius scored again, this is how he played with Espanyol’s defense

Real Madrid desperately need to overcome the results crisis and Saturday was the perfect opportunity. Espanyol, a team from the second half of the table, arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu. The start of the match did not go as expected for the royal club, but Vinicius once again showed his skills.

Real Madrid’s last three games? A draw with Atlético Madrid, a loss to Barcelona and a draw with Betis. In addition, the royal team scored a single goal and the future of coach Carlo Ancelotti began to be discussed.

According to Spanish journalists, Ancelotti’s engagement at the Santiago Bernabeu is in jeopardy if no major trophy is won. And so it’s time to start pulling the long end of the rope.

As early as Saturday afternoon, Real Madrid were given a great opportunity to begin a turnaround for the better. They faced Espanyol and went into the game as big favourites. However, in the eighth minute, they conceded a completely unnecessary goal.

Eduardo Camavinga failed to look to his left, letting the ball drop behind him to Ruben Sanchez, who took advantage of the laxity and sleepiness of the entire defence of the more famous opponent and found Joselu, who didn’t hesitate to send the ball into the top right corner.

But it was Vinicius who decided to change the game in the 22nd minute. A player who had been silent in the last three games and had only collected two yellow cards.

After a pass from Toni Kroos, he headed the ball from the touchline into the opposition’s sixth and Espanyol’s defenders seemed to have forgotten how to defend. They gave the Brazilian star too much space and Real Madrid equalised at 1-1.

Real Madrid also scored a second goal in the first half when defender Eder Militao scored.
