Real Madrid produced a scintillating display to thrash Brest 3-0 in their Champions League group stage clash, but it wasn’t enough to secure a spot in the last-16. Rodrygo was the star of the show, scoring a brace and causing havoc for the Brest defense, while Jude Bellingham also got on the scoresheet.
Rodrygo’s performance was a highlight of the game, with the Brazilian winger showcasing his pace, skill, and finishing ability. He opened the scoring in the 10th minute with a clinical finish, and then doubled his tally in the 55th minute with a stunning strike. Bellingham also impressed, scoring his first Champions League goal for Real Madrid and demonstrating his growing influence in the team.
Despite the convincing win, Real Madrid’s Champions League fate remains uncertain. They will have to wait until the final group stage matchday to discover their fate, with a potential play-off against Manchester City looming large. The Blancos will need to win their final game and hope that other results go in their favor if they are to avoid a play-off.
The defeat for Brest was their fifth consecutive loss in the Champions League, and they will be eliminated from the competition if they fail to win their final group stage match. Despite the loss, the French side showed glimpses of quality, with their striker, Steve Mounie, scoring a consolation goal in the 75th minute.
Real Madrid’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, was pleased with his team’s performance, but acknowledged that they had not done enough to secure a spot in the last-16. “We played well and created a lot of chances, but we need to be more consistent and clinical in our finishing,” Ancelotti said. “We will have to wait and see what happens in the final group stage matchday, but we are confident that we can get the result we need.”
The win for Real Madrid was their third consecutive victory in the Champions League, and they will be looking to maintain their momentum in their final group stage match. With Rodrygo and Bellingham in fine form, the Blancos will be confident of getting the result they need to secure a spot in the last-16.
In addition to Rodrygo and Bellingham, Real Madrid’s midfield duo of Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavinga also impressed. The pair controlled the tempo of the game and created several scoring opportunities for their teammates. Modric, in particular, was instrumental in dictating the flow of the game, and his vision and passing range were a joy to behold.
The defeat for Brest was a harsh reality check for the French side, who had been hoping to cause an upset against the Spanish giants. Despite the loss, Brest’s manager, Michel Der Zakarian, was proud of his team’s effort and resilience. “We knew it would be a tough game, but we gave it our all and created some good chances,” Der Zakarian said. “We will learn from this experience and move on to our next game.”
In conclusion, Real Madrid’s win over Brest was an impressive display of attacking football, but it wasn’t enough to secure a spot in the last-16 of the Champions League. With their fate still uncertain, the Blancos will need to win their final group stage match and hope that other results go in their favor. Rodrygo and Bellingham were the stars of the show, and their performances will give Real Madrid fans hope that they can still achieve their goals in the Champions League.
