Madrid Edges Alavés in Mendizorrotza Roller-Coaster: Three Lead Changes in One Night
Average Entertainment Futmetrix Score: 44/100. In a night where intensity and momentum swung like a pendulum, Real Madrid proved they have the mettle to win ugly away from home.
The Crunch Match Nobody Saw Coming
Alavés arrived at Mendizorrotza in freefall (form: WLLLW), but Madrid walked into a trap. From the opening whistle, balance was the story: possession split almost evenly (52%-48%), yet Madrid's cutting edge was sharper where it counted. Kylian Mbappé broke the deadlock in the 24th minute, courtesy of a precision assist from Jude Bellingham, who orchestrated Madrid's attacking rhythm with two key passes across the evening.
Vicente's Shock: The Turning Point
Then came the twist. In the 69th minute, stakes shifted entirely when substitute Carlos Vicente—introduced just 60 seconds earlier—pounced on an Antonio Blanco assist to haul Alavés level. Suddenly, Madrid were under siege. Alavés cranked the pressure: 11 corners in total (5 for the home side) turned Mendizorrotza into a fortress of defensive intensity, testing Madrid's resolve in ways the scoreline hadn't.
Rodrygo Delivers the Knockout: Drama Ends
When chaos threatened to reign, Rodrygo struck the decisive blow in the 76th minute, assisted by Vinicius Junior. It was the third lead change of the night—and the final one. Madrid fired 11 shots (4 on target); Alavés managed 6 (2 on target). The balance was deceptive: Madrid's dominance lay not in possession but in clinical finishing when it mattered. Position 2, 36 points—Madrid's grip on the title race tightens.
Key Questions
How did substitute Vicente change the game?
Vicente scored within 60 seconds of entering (69'), transforming a controlled affair into a six-pointer. His goal ignited Mendizorrotza and forced Madrid to respond under maximum intensity.
Why did Madrid win despite less possession?
Clinical finishing. Madrid's 11 shots (4 on target) vs Alavés' 6 (2 on target) tells the story. Control where it counts—inside the box.
How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
The Futmetrix Score (0-100) combines multiple factors: match intensity, competitive balance, stakes importance, and entertainment value to help you decide if this match is worth watching.
Real Madrid's relentless march collides with Alavés's fight for survival
Worth Watching Futmetrix Score: 71/100. Real Madrid arrive as executioners; Alavés are fighting for their La Liga lives—a 21-point chasm separates title contention from the relegation trap.
The Setup
Alavés teeters in 14th place with just 15 points, three consecutive defeats having drained their margin for error to near-zero. Real Madrid, meanwhile, sit second with 36 points and a near-impenetrable defence (13 goals conceded all season). The Stakes are brutally asymmetrical: for Alavés, this is a six-pointer in the survival battle; for Madrid, it's another inevitable step toward the crown. The Balance is tilted decisively toward the visitors.
Key Battle
Alavés must compress their shape and hunt transitions to disrupt Madrid's rhythm. Real Madrid will deploy their suffocating possession game—controlling tempo, dictating space, and converting opportunities with clinical precision. Whoever controls the midfield tempo wins the narrative.
Our Prediction
Real Madrid 2-0. The Whites absorb initial pressure, break lines with surgical precision, and seal victory through clinical finishing. Mbappé extends his devastating run. Alavés, tactically outgunned, sink deeper into the survival fight with no answer to Madrid's machine-like efficiency.
Key Questions
Should I watch this match?
Yes, if you crave relegation drama. For pure football, Madrid's dominance makes this a technical masterclass—lopsided but compelling.
What's the predicted outcome?
Real Madrid 2-0 Alavés. Visitors control possession and space; hosts lack offensive resources to punish.
Where are Alavés and Real Madrid in the league table?
Alavés 14th with 15 points (relegation zone). Real Madrid 2nd with 36 points, 22 clear.
What is Alavés's current form?
Alarming: LLLWL. Three consecutive defeats. One win in five. Pressure intensifies daily.
Who is the in-form player to watch?
Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid): 5 goals and 2 assists in 5 matches, averaging 7.8 rating. Unstoppable.
How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
The Futmetrix Score (0-100) combines multiple factors: match intensity, competitive balance, stakes importance, and entertainment value to help you decide if this match is worth watching.
