Real Madrid Drops Points Again: Who Is to Blame

The gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona has almost disappeared – now only a one-point difference remains. The "Royal Club" has recorded its second consecutive draw in away games.

First against "Rayo Vallecano," and then "Elche," two mid-tier teams managed to snatch two points each from Real Madrid. The 2-2 draw against "Elche" has sparked analysis from "Euro-Football.Ru" regarding who might be to blame. During the match, Aleix Febas opened the scoring for "Elche," and Real was unable to equalize in the first half.

In the second half, Real’s goals were scored by Din Hoijsen and one of the team’s key players, Jude Bellingham. However, Álvaro Rodríguez’s goal for "Elche" once again gave the home team the lead.

Despite Bellingham's second goal later in the match, Real was only able to secure a draw. Defensive mistakes by Trent Alexander-Arnold led to "Elche's" opening goal.

Additionally, Álvaro Carreras and Eduardo Camavinga were also criticized for their unreliable performances, which negatively impacted the team. Vinícius Júnior, despite being brought on to save the game, was unable to deliver an effective performance and was largely ineffective in the attack.

Real Madrid's loss of points in matches like this benefits Barcelona, increasing their opportunities in the title race. The "Royal Club" will now need to deliver even better performances to widen the points gap against their fierce competitors.
