For Las Palmas, Fabio Silva scored early in the game, while Ramirez was sent off, leading to a big win for Real Madrid. Real Madrid tops La Liga, and in addition, they have found a gem with a 4-1 victory! The 21-year-old iron defender excelled in both attack and defense, making an impressive slide tackle that earned him praise as the new Ramos.
Mbappe is gradually finding his rhythm at Real Madrid. In the match against Las Palmas, he equalized for Real Madrid with a penalty kick, followed by a long-range shot that was saved. Vazquez then got the ball and assisted Diaz to score into an empty net. Mbappe received an assist from Rodrigo to score Real Madrid's third goal. He also made the second-to-last pass to Garcia, who then assisted Rodrigo for Real Madrid's fourth goal. Mbappe, who repeatedly created threats, received a perfect score of 10 in this match.
Mbappe's all-around performance has won the recognition of Real Madrid fans. Young central defender Raul Asensio also had an outstanding performance in this game. Looking at Asensio's on-field statistics, his passing accuracy reached 93%, with 4 long passes and 3 successful transfers. He completed 1 dribble, was fouled once, and successfully contested 3 times, achieving a 100% success rate in both aerial and ground duels. He made 3 clearances, committed no fouls, and was not dribbled past by any opponents.
Asensio was able to play a stable role in the backfield, initiating attacks, and when his midfield teammates were closely marked and unable to receive the ball well, Asensio could still carry the ball forward himself to accelerate Real Madrid's offensive tempo. In the 13th minute of the game, Asensio made a beautiful tackle on the right flank, throwing his body out to disrupt Las Palmas' cross, earning applause from Real Madrid fans. After a big loss to Barcelona, Asensio started two consecutive games, helping Real Madrid easily defeat Celta Vigo and Las Palmas.
Asensio's accurate passing, solid defense, and toughness show the qualities of a leader. Coach Gonzalez, who coached Asensio at the Las Palmas youth academy, praised the player, saying that Asensio is the most similar to Ramos. He is very committed, a leader, and can become the captain of Real Madrid, showing high regard for Asensio. Based on Asensio's performance this season at Real Madrid, he ranks ahead of Chuameni in the central defender position, and Real Madrid fans are looking forward to him becoming the defensive leader of the team for many years to come.
