Las Blancas Podcast: Weir dependencia saves the day

Hosts Yash Thakur and Kanita analyze Real Madrid’s 2-1 win over Villarreal in matchday 26 of Liga F.

Talking points:

• Lineup, formation change, worries that came with it, and the 5 changes from the last match.
• Soldevilla scores for Villarreal, her incognito run-in and lack of tracking by Maite and Kathellen.
• Boring first half with a peek on the approaches of both teams; Madrid’s 3-5-2 vs Villarreal’s 5-3-2.
• Weir’s equalizer at the end of first half, Athenea’s good decision.
• Weir scores the winner in 57’ from a quickly taken throw-in.
• Team’s dependency on Caroline Weir that resulted from the squad underutilization.
• Recent rumors on Alberto Toril leaving and what could it mean.
• Thoughts on the Copa de la Reina semifinals draw.
