Omo, e don show! Real Madrid go jolly wey dem take on Rayo Vallecano for La Liga this Sunday. Na for Bernabeu wey dem go dey represent, time na 2pm local time (that one na 13:00 GMT for una wey dey follow GMT). E no easy for Los Blancos, as dem dey struggle to find dem groove.
After dem waka come back from UEFA Champions League wahala, where dem miss last 16 automatic ticket, coach Alvaro Arbeloa dey try hold everybody for check. E don make am clear say, him go still put hin best players like Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Junior for pitch, even as dem talk say dem no too dey gel well when dem dey play together.
Mbappe dey shine well-well lately, na him score all the goals wey Madrid fit show for that recent 4-2 loss against Benfica. Arbeloa no dey waste time, him dey work hard to find that sweet balance for hin squad. E talk say “This na time to work, we go find that consistency wey dey miss.”
But make we no forget Rayo Vallecano. Dem dey dread relegation as dem sit down for 16th position. Dem don win only five matches this season, but na three of dem don come from away matches. So, dem go waka come Bernabeu with ginger, dey try catch all three points.
Last time wey dem face each other, na two teams just dey look dem selves for field, match end for 0-0 draw, and wey Real Madrid no fit score. That time, dem no fit find their groove, but this time, dem need to prove say dem dey serious! Real Madrid don win 33 of their last meetings, while Vallecano don only win 7.
As the match dey come, dem still dey manage injuries for Real side, as Eder Militao, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Antonio Rüdiger dey chop bench. But we fit see players like Rodrygo and Asencio back to sin in La Liga after dem red card wahala midweek.
