Real Madrid is preparing for several important matches in January. Soon the team will face Salzburg in the Champions League. Then follows a match against Real Valladolid in the 21st round of the championship and a rematch with Brest in the LC. For the youth team, Carlo Ancelotti's games will be crucial, since in European competitions they currently hold 20th place with nine points. Wins in the Champions League matches will allow them to get closer to the direct exit zone, which excludes participation in the playoffs.
In turn, Madrid took the lead against Las Palmas with a score of 4-1 and topped the table with 46 points. Initially, the guests took the lead within the first minute, marking it with a goal from Silva. However, Madrid did not back down and equalized the score thanks to a goal from Mbappe in the 18th minute. Then Brahim Diaz and again Mbappe drove the score to 3-1 by the end of the first half. In the second half, Madrid dominated the game and Rodrygo secured the team’s victory with a goal in the 57th minute.
Thus, after the failures of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, Carlo Ancelotti's team managed to consolidate its position at the top of the championship. The outstanding Mbappe noted: "The team's reaction was excellent."
