Even though it was unexpected, Casemiro’s departure still shocked Real Madrid supporters.
The boy always played well, and the loss of a legendary midfielder left everyone in shock. And yet another sporting surprise because Casemiro was still a player in his prime at the age of 30.
Just ask Luka Modric about the notion that he had already played his best games for Real Madrid.
He plays better and better each season. We are dealing with a player who is totally irreplaceable, so tears will be shed the day he leaves.
The focus was on Aurelien Tchouameni on Saturday. He had no flaws. The rest will follow if Modric and Toni Kroos adopt him as their own. He performed all the duties of a defensive midfielder.
In the second half of their game against Villarreal on Sunday night, an unarmed Atletico Madrid were left reeling.
In the first half, Villarreal neutralized their attacking threat, and in the second, they capitalized on the anger.
Diego Simeone’s team has a lot more on the line, and it was Yeremi Pino who gave them the lead in the 73rd minute.
Then, in the 94th minute, Nahuel Molina was given a red card, and the game’s final goal was scored by Gerard Moreno in the 97th minute.

Ansu Fati’s Influence
Ansu Fati’s influence on Barcelona’s play was palpable on a difficult night. The arrival of the youngster changed the temperature of the match in the midst of a scramble against a Real Sociedad side that tried.
His clarity, joy of play, and ability to link up with Ousmane Dembele or Robert Lewandowski helped to straighten out a team that enjoys attacking but suffers when the ball escapes their control.
Fati accomplished everything in the blink of an eye: a brilliant back heel and a goal. He was pure gold for Barcelona, who couldn’t even afford to register Jules Kounde.
