El gol de Endrick en la casa de la Real Sociedad el pasado 26 de febrero da ventaja al Real Madrid. Eso es lo que defiende el equipo de Carlo Ancelotti para volver a estar en la final de Copa, algo que ya sucedió hace dos temporadas. Entonces, el título acabó en Valdebebas tras vencer a Osasuna por 2-1 en Sevilla.
La Real Sociedad se presenta en Chamartín con la necesidad de remontar. El equipo que dirige Imanol está lejos de los objetivos con los que arrancó la temporada. La aventura en Europa acabó en Old Trafford hace tres semanas con un arbitraje que acarrea consecuencias para Benoit Bastien.
En LaLiga, el caminar donostiarra es errático. Lejos de los mejores, la Real pelea por aprovechar una de las plazas extra que España puede tener la temporada próxima en Europa. Eso hace que sus 38 puntos sobre 87 (43,6%) sean un mal menor que rebaja el grado de decepción.
Con ese escenario, es la Copa lo que le queda al equipo de Imanol para que la temporada pase de vulgar a la posibilidad de ser extraordinaria.
Odegaard, Isak y un 3-4
Pero el Madrid sabe que fiarse de la Real Sociedad es un error, aunque sus juegos y resultados no lo indiquen.
La última vez que la Real saltó al césped de Chamartín fue el 6 de febrero de 2020. Eran días en los que las noticias del coronavirus comenzaban a ser preocupantes, pero nadie en España imaginaba lo que venía. Ese día, la cifra de muertos en todo el mundo se estimaba en 500 personas.
Minuto 19.
El estadio del Real Madrid se llenó para presenciar los cuartos de final de la Copa. Con Zidane de entrenador, el equipo blanco era favorito. Su entrenador buscaba saldar una deuda pendiente, la de la Copa. No pudo hacerlo, porque la Real firmó un partido espectacular en el Bernabéu.
Dirigida con maestría por Martin Odegaard y Alexander Isak como ejecutor, el equipo de Imanol llegó a la hora de partido con 0-3. Pero le quedaba camino por recorrer. Marcelo hizo el 1-3, Merino el 1-4 y entre Rodrygo (minuto 81) y Nacho (93’) colocaron el partido al borde de la prórroga. La Real esquivó esa amenaza y dio un paso al título de más de un año después.
Entonces, el 3 de abril de 2021, la cifra de fallecidos en el mundo era de 2.839.051.
Real y Barcelona
Son los dos equipos que han endosado al Madrid sus peores derrotas en la Copa. La Real, en las semifinales de 1988, ganaba 0-4 en Chamartín. Al minuto 53 se llegó sin goles, lo que hacía bueno para los vascos el 1-0 de la ida. Los goles de Gorriz, dos de Bakero y Begiristain, metieron a la Real en la final. La perdería en el Bernabéu: 1-0 ante el Barça de Luis Aragonés.
Arkonada y Larrañaga celebran el 0-4 de 1988.
Desde 1926, el Madrid no recibía una goleada similar en casa: 1-5 ante el Barcelona. Un 2-4 culé en 1959 completa la lista de quienes marcaron cuatro goles al Real Madrid en Copa en su estadio.

Brasileiro feminino: Expansão do campeonato nos próximos anos pode impactar qualidade na elite
Em 2027, o futebol feminino estará em destaque no Brasil. Além de sediar a Copa do Mundo, o país terá a primeira edição do Brasileirão A1 com 20 clubes, quatro a mais do que atualmente. O anúncio da expansão do campeonato, feito em janeiro, levanta a dúvida: a infraestrutura e a qualidade técnica dos times vão acompanhar esse crescimento? Nas seis primeiras rodadas da edição em disputa, foram marcados 158 gols, média de 3,3 por partida — no Brasileiro masculino, por exemplo, a média no mesmo período é de 2,3. O número expõe o abismo entre as equipes que brigam pelo título e aquelas que lutam contra o rebaixamento: já são seis jogos, 10% do total, com vitórias por quatro ou mais gols de diferença. Mas a frequência de goleadas vem diminuindo: caiu de 22,5% em 2019 para 12,5% em […]
In winning time, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was at his best in Thunder’s sweep of Grizzlies
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Before breaking through in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s series-clinching 117-115 Game 4 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had scored 73 points on 68 shots in the first three contests. His 35 percent shooting ranked last among 10 Thunder players who had appeared in every game — not exactly a stat anyone would have predicted entering the series.AdvertisementBut in winning time Saturday, the Thunder star and MVP finalist was at his best.Gilgeous-Alexander scored a game-high 38 points to lead the Thunder to a series sweep and a second-round date with the winner between the LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets. Whichever team emerges will have to contend with a well-rested Thunder squad whose best player might have just hit his stride.It’s not that Gilgeous-Alexander, or anyone with the Thunder, ever worried about his uncharacteristic inefficiency.

Grizzlies must consider Ja Morant’s future and everything else after sweep
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — During his six-year tenure as general manager of the Memphis Grizzlies, Zach Kleiman has usually gone out of his way to avoid the spotlight.Despite being the architect of a team that’s won at least 48 games in three of the last four seasons, few NBA fans could identify his face in a lineup. He’s likely happy with that.AdvertisementHe went against his usual tendencies earlier this season when he released a public statement that made waves throughout the league. Though his intent was to quiet the noise in Memphis, Kleiman may have unknowingly given an early glimpse into the unease behind the scenes that led to the Grizzlies’ shocking late-season collapse and yet another early exit from the playoffs.All of this culminated in Memphis falling short again in a 117-115 loss in Game 4 against the Oklahoma City […]
