That Real Madrid came into the match against Alaves in a poor mood was evident even in the first half. Still, Alaves knew how to take advantage of it, and we didn’t see the kind of dominance from Real Madrid that one might usually expect in the opening 45 minutes.The first chance of the match came from Real Madrid, when Arda Guler received a low pass in the box, set himself up for a shot, and struck powerfully straight at goal. Unfortunately for him, Jesus Owono made a solid save. Ten minutes later, Real Madrid did manage to find the net through Raul Asensio, but after a VAR review, the goal was disallowed due to a foul at the start of the move. You can see that situation HERE.🚀 @Camavinga 🚀#LaLigaHighlights pic.twitter.com/ThAJpnIl6f— Real Madrid C.F. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@realmadriden) April 13, 2025 On the other end, Kike Garcia missed a big chance after receiving a pass in the penalty area, only to shoot well over the goal.
