Summary: Valencia - Athletic Bilbao 0: 1 (Sport 1)

Real Madrid could not have asked for a more successful general return to its most important game this season.

Four days before hosting Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final rematch, the Spanish league leader defeated Real Sociedad 1-4 last night (Saturday) and increased the gap to eight points from second place in the table, closing out a seventh consecutive game without a loss in the league.

"A sharp rise ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, Madrid set up a warm-up for a comeback", "A big comeback for a comeback", read headlines in the Spanish capital, where the game on Wednesday is already being considered where the Whites will have to erase a 1-0 deficit from the first game against the French.

Only one team in the history of the Spanish league finished the season without a championship after leading by eight points on second place, and this happened in the 2003/04 season which ended in the championship of the Blancos themselves.

In last night's game they did not keep a clean sheet, but Real can be very pleased with its defensive performance, as apart from the penalty that spawned a goal by Mikel Oyersbal, Sociedad did not kick even once in the direction of Thibaut Courtois.

He can be trusted.

The one who provided coach Carlo Ancelotti with great reason to rejoice was Eduardo Camavinga, who not only scored a great goal that brought the team back from a 1-0 deficit, but also proved he can be trusted ahead of the game against PSG where he will start in the squad and have to rise, as The yellowed Casimiro will be absent and probably the injured Tony Cross will not play either.

"Cambinga does not disappoint. The Frenchman met all expectations. It is possible that he will play better or worse against PSG, but what is certain is that he is not hiding. By the way, he is only 19 years old," the Marca team praised him.

Ancelotti said after the win: "You could say it was our best game this season. We are full of confidence ahead of the game against PSG, we will be at our best. The Madridists believe more in the comeback on Wednesday after this game, we will need their help. Quality, he knows his importance in the squad - I talked to him about it. Near Kasmiro he feels better, but he can play in any position without a problem. There is no player who can replace Kasmiro, there is no other player with his qualities. Kambinka football is full of quality and energy "And he also scored a wonderful goal."

Luca Modric, who scored the most beautiful goal of the game, received compliments from Casimiro: "It's an honor to play alongside him, and also alongside Cross. Modric keeps himself, trains properly and works so hard. We will enjoy him for a long time. With our fans behind us, "We are capable of anything. It was a complete show."

Full of confidence.

Also for the king of league goals Karim Benzema it was a very successful evening on a personal level.

The striker scored and cooked, raised his tally to 20 conquests and 10 assists this season, entered a list of only seven players who scored at least 20 goals four seasons in a row in the Spanish league, and even became the third player in the factory to reach 100 assists in the 21st century after Lionel Messi And Danny Alves.

The one who sent a big, and perhaps even excessive, bite to Barcelona's big rival was senior SS editor Thomas Ronsero: "This Madrid beats Barça with the substitutes," the journalist claimed on a Spanish TV show, although the Catalans have had a great time in the last month.

For those who have forgotten or do not know, in just two weeks the Clasico will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu.
