Real Madrid got the job done against a determined Depotivo Alaves who instinctively understood they were dining with the champions of La Liga.
As usual, the pivot was Toni Kross who distributed the ball in style setting up Bellingham with a deep into the right flank and although it seemed like a cross the ball eventually curved into the post, call it a wonder goal or not the young man from England start seems to have shone and everything he touches turns to Gold, with a goal and an assist and Vini proving deadly anytime he touches the ball also scored two goals.
Los Blanco took this game as a training routine with all respect to Alavez they were nowhere near the level of preparation Madrid exhibited, completing a fluid team move with an easy finish into an open net. Federico Valverde then buried the third on the brink of half-time, lashing home at the near post to put the game beyond doubt.
The second half saw fewer chances but the game still had some juice as the England international and Vini joined forces to bring forth the fourth goal, Vini’s brilliance with the tight ball into the net perhaps shows his football brilliance especially since fans were thinking he was going to cut in unto his right football.
With two goals to end the season, Madrid already has 93 points and 61 goals but they will hope to crack up 99 points and in the process only trail Jose Mourinho’s record point Hall of 100 goals.
