Madrid Breezes Past Granada to La Liga Summit

Real Madrid cleaned the clocks of Granada at the Santiago Bernabéu this evening to reclaim the La Liga top spot courtesy of goals from Brahim Diaz and in-form Rodrygo Goes.

Parading a new coach in the person of Alexander Medina, Granada gave a good account of themselves early on in the encounter, stifling the creative sparks of the Galacticos, before they found eventually found their rhythm.

In the 26th minute, Toni Kross sent a superb pass into the path of Diaz, who calmly finished to put Carlo Ancelotti’s men ahead into the break.

However, the opening minutes of the second half were different from the first, as the host displayed a convincing attacking intent that yielded dividends in the 57th minute.

After André Ferreira saved Jude Bellingham’s initial effort, Rodrygo did justice to the rebound to grab his seventh goal in his last five club appearances—sealing the win for the Los Blancos who displaced Girona from the top spot.
