How did Kylian Mbappe save Real Madrid in their recent match?
Vinny Junior was being jeered before he went and scored that golazo. Oh, that's brilliant from Vinicius Junior. Jude Bellingham picked up that injury. Yes. He was visibly distraught, in tears coming off, and he was booed, which is just awful, isn't it? I think there are deep-rooted issues.
I can't quite work out how it looks like the keeper's going to get it and suddenly he's out and he's got it round him.
Lamine Magic. How would you compare Barca's squad with Real Madrid's right now at this moment?
What challenges is Jude Bellingham facing at Real Madrid?
Hello and welcome to the Rest is Football La Liga episode with Alex Aljo and me, Gary Lineker. Well, it's as you were really at the top of La Liga with both Barcelona and Real Madrid getting three points apiece. A little bit trickier for Real Madrid, but they managed it in the end. We'll come to those very shortly. But firstly, Alex, how are you?
Yep. All good. Thank you. I've seen two great games at the weekend. I was at Chelsea West Ham, not working, just watching and enjoyed that one. And then I was at the Spurs City game yesterday.
And you interviewed Rodri, which we can see. I'm trying to find a Spanish angle on that.
Exactly. I interviewed a rather cross Rodri.
I spoke to you just before we started recording and said, did you see Rodri having a real whine about the goal? It's a little bit... Oh, nobody likes us anymore. Which is unlike Rodri. It is. I mean, I get they've given away a two goal lead and he's a bit upset. You know, it might well have been a foul, but it wasn't clear and obvious how.
I could tell before we started the interview, he looked fuming, fuming. He wasn't speaking. And normally you have a lot of chat before you start the interview. He was just going like...
How does Barcelona maintain their lead in La Liga?
shaking his head, just like furious.
So I just said my- He'd obviously just seen the images.
Yeah, when he went back into, yeah, exactly. Because he said that in the interview, he said, you know, you don't see it when you're on the pitch, but you go back in. So my first question was something like, wow, Roger, I can see you're really frustrated. It's like, you know, tell me. And he spoke for like, his first answer was about two minutes.
I think he's struggling a bit as well to get his full fitness. And hopefully by the end of the season, it'll be important, very important for Spain that he's fit. I know they've got someone like Zubi Mendy that can play in that position as well. But I think Rodri adds anything. A fit and kind of informed Rodri adds a lot to any side.
Which is not what we saw yesterday.
Not yet. He could have been sent off for the second time because he could have been sent off in midweek as well.
What are the implications of Atletico Madrid's recent performance?
What about you?
I went to watch QPR versus Coventry. Ah, okay. Friends on Saturday, had a nice pub lunch before we went to the game. It was very civilized, a lot of fun. That was good. And overall, watched a lot of football, as always, most weekends. Been some great games, including a very exciting game in La Liga with Real Madrid. Just, what was it? The 98th minute?
100th, I think.
The 100th minute, which is quite something. Penalty decision. Mbappe popped it away. Let's see how they managed to retain their position in the table.
Real Madrid were involved in a Champions League classic against Benfica on Wednesday. Tonight, it's back to the league and struggling Real Vallecano. Real stride forward. Vinicius Junior. Oh, that's brilliant from Vinicius Junior.
What is the atmosphere like at the Bernabeu for Real Madrid fans?
He was running out of road but found just enough space to curl one into the top corner. Oh, Jorge de Frutos has squeezed one in. Vallecano level and de Frutos has a ninth of the season. it's a slightly heavy touch from him and it meant that he barreled into a challenge on Dani Ceballos and Rayo Vallecano are down to ten Mbappe has worked it around the corner for Brahim Diaz it's a little bit scrappy in there referee points to the penalty spot I think the challenge is Nobel Mendy on Brahim Diaz And once again, Kylian Mbappe will have the chance from the penalty spot. The parenka last week, what will he choose today? The right option and the right result for Real Madrid.
