Real Madrid Clinches Thrilling 3-2 Victory Over Almería in a Nail-biting 2024 LaLiga Clash!
Real Madrid remains unbeaten in their last 13 league matches and recently clinched the Super Cup with a victory over Barcelona. However, their momentum is tempered by a recent Copa del Rey elimination at the hands of Atletico Madrid, the same team that handed them their last league defeat back in September.
Real Madrid somehow manage to turn the game around in the second half to win 3-2 after trailing by two goals at the break. Almeria, however, can feel aggrieved after multiple VAR intentions that went against them.
Real Madrid
- Bellingham (57’minutes pen),
- Vinícius Júnior (67’minutes),
- Carvajal (90’+9minutes)
Almería
- Tchouaméni (67’minutes),
- Bellingham (90’+9minutes)
Despite the calendar only showing January, Almeria’s fate appears nearly sealed, having failed to secure a single win in the ongoing league season. Their recent 0-0 draw against Girona stands as their best result this season, boosting confidence. Yet, facing Real Madrid at the Bernabeu demands more than just positive spirits.
As Real Madrid gears up to face Almeria in the upcoming La Liga match, the team, having bowed out of the Copa del Rey, intensifies its focus on the league title race. The recent Cup exit means the European treble is no longer within reach, but Carlos Ancelotti’s squad remains firmly in contention for the league title, currently holding the second position. A victory against Almeria could propel them back to the top.
Lineups: Real Madrid vs Almeria, 2024 La Liga
Real Madrid has revealed the lineup for the forthcoming match against Almeria as La Liga resumes following the team’s excursion to Saudi Arabia, where they secured victory in the Spanish Supercup. Additionally, the squad participated in Copa del Rey fixtures against Arandina and Atletico de Madrid.
Real Madrid starting XI: Kepa, Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy, Tchouameni, Kroos, Valverde, Bellingham, Vinicius, Rodrygo.
Almeria starting XI (TBC): Maximiano, Pubil, Chumi, Edgar, Akieme, Lopy, Melero, Robertone, Arribas, Embarba, Suarez.
The clash between the two Spanish sides is scheduled for January 21 at the Santiago Bernabeu. Almeria, languishing at the bottom of the La Liga table, faces an uphill battle, having not secured a single victory in the 20 games played so far. Stopping Madrid’s dominance in the upcoming fixture would require nothing short of a miracle for Almeria.
