Three takeaways from Real Madrid’s 2-1 win over Fiorentina
By Ben Sundock
All they do is win
It might not have counted and there might not have been the best squad on the pitch, but this club and this team refuse to lose.
With the only true first teamers to start in this match being Sergio Ramos, Ronaldo, Asensio, and Nacho, this team still found a way to win after going down 1-0 just four minutes in.
Kiko Casilla made some big time saves, most notably on a shot that bounced down off the crossbar, hit his shoulder, and was deflected away, while others like Achraf and Marcos Llorente contributed a great deal.
Simply, this team wanted to win this match more than their opponent. That, I think, says a lot about this team’s character and the way Zidane prepares his players for each and every match.
While Fiorentina might not be the best team in the Serie A, they are still a good team. To say that the Real Madrid Castilla/B team were able to beat them is huge.
As we’ve already seen the past two seasons, this team is bound for success and more titles. It is only a matter of time.
