Win against Rayo

So Real Madrid earned a last-minute win rhrough Rodrygo in the 89th. Few things I’d like to point out:

• The excellent finish from RDT
• Calm, cool movement and finish from Rodrygo
• Not Fran’s best game by all means and yet, I’m looking forward to seeing this man opn our left side (wearing white this time) come next season
• Small attendance but hey.... I mean, look at when the match was played and what was at stake. Still a midweek RMA game is a joy

“Beautiful” is How I’d Describe This

Another thing I enjoyed was Vini sitting next to Perez with his wide smile after Benzema scored.
