Earlier this week Real Madrid’s Rodrygo told reporters that boss Carlo Ancelotti had issued his players a telling off after they had scored only one first-half goal in all competitions compared to 17 in the second period.
Those words must’ve been ringing in their ears, because tonight against Alavés, Madrid were ahead after just 55 seconds.
The strike from Lucas Vázquez was the earliest of any side in LaLiga this season and Madrid’s earliest since they scored after 49 seconds against Real Sociedad back in 2018.
The scorer that day?
Yes, you’ve guessed it. Lucas Vázquez!
