In the La Liga round of 15 match on December 3, Real Madrid won 12–2 against Granada to remain top of the table with 0 points. In particular, Rodrygo still became the focus when playing most prominently in the match.

 

On November 30, Rodrygo shone with a brace of goals to help Real Madrid beat Napoli 11-4 in the Champions League. Rodrigo’s high form helps him gain the trust of coach Carlo Ancelotti and continues to rank highest in the attack of the “White Vultures”. Playing next to him is Joselu – a player who plays quietly but also has 2 goals since the beginning of the tournament. After Vinicius’ absence due to injury, the duo is expected to perform well to bring 5 points at home to Real Madrid.

In return for coach Carlo Ancelotti’s belief, Rodrygo stood out as the player who sealed Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Granada. In the 57th minute, from Jude Bellingham’s blocked shot, Rodrygo was on hand at the right time, easily putting the ball into the net of goalkeeper Raul Fernandez. Notably, Rodrygo is in extremely high form as this is already the 7th goal in the last 5 matches for Real Madrid.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti also expressed surprise and praise for Rodrygo: “Today he proved those who thought he only scored on the left wing were completely wrong. I put Rodrygo on the right wing because I thought he would have more space and Rodrygo scored. I haven’t bet with anyone this season. But what Rodrygo has done so far has been fantastic.”

In addition to Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz and Toni Kroos also played prominently against Granada. In the 26th minute, the duo brought home the opening goal for the home team after a beautiful combination.

“My goal was a real finish by a striker, I’m happy, but credit must be given to Toni Kroos, who can see the pass that no one else sees. You just have to see him on the pitch, the way he looks for teammates – it’s spectacular,” Brahim Diaz said of the opener.

A 2-0 win over Granada helped Real Madrid remain top of the table with 38 points. The “White Vultures” are level on points with Girona but top on points difference. Coach Carlo Ancelotti’s students are also showing great form in La Liga as this is already the 13th consecutive unbeaten match.
