This is what we want, this is what we feel, this is the one that makes us quiver, the one which brings us happiness and sometimes sadness but, above all, it is the one which makes us feel proud, always. Nothing could ever get in between of the way we feel for la Real and its crest, the one which Aritz points at after scoring the fourth goal of the night. We needed this win but feeling the crest and the txuri-urdin colors is much more important than any victory, come what may and above all.
La Real needed to win and they did it. They played very well and deserved this result by far. The txuri-urdin team dominated the first half and were taking the lead at the half-time break thanks to Willian Jose’s eleventh LaLiga goal. Juanmi provided the assist for the goal. In the meantime, Dépor didn’t approach Rulli.
The blanquiazules knew the importance of the three points and standed firmly in the second. And that’s not all, they went crazy due to Illarra’s free-kick goal, which surprised Rubén in the distance. Canales wanted to contribute to the win and netted moments after coming on. This time, Willian José provided the assist. La Real has recovered its power and control. In the final 15 minutes, Aritz and, once again, Illarra, have added two more goals.
This is the end of a bad streak that made us unstable. It is just a win, but it must be much more than that. It must empower our faith and self-esteem. That is la Real which we all want. Aúpa Real!
