A match to show character
Real Madrid returns to LaLiga with a clear mission: not to disconnect from the fight. Although Barcelona is seven points ahead, in the merengue locker room they know that anything can happen. Hope is the last thing that is lost.
This afternoon at the Santiago Bernabéu they host Girona. There is no room for error. Three mandatory points to continue breathing down the leader’s neck and, at the same time, press.
But this match goes beyond the table. It comes after a strong emotional blow. The defeat in the Champions League against Bayern Munich (1-2) still hurts. And it was the second loss in a row, after the defeat against Mallorca by the same score.
For Álvaro Arbeloa and his team, obtaining the three points would allow them to gain confidence ahead of the second leg against the German squad.
There is the key. This meeting is a test of resilience. How does a big team respond after falling? Football, like life, tests you just when you think you can’t take it anymore.
A victory today would do two things: shorten the gap in the League and inject the confidence they need for the great return game in Munich. It’s time to stick out your chest and show what you’re made of.
