Alfonso plays it to Prosinečki, he was asking for it from Hierro, he pulls the ball back to Luis

Enrique. Luis Enrique looks like he is going to cross, he decides to leave the ball to Michel.

Michel hits it with the outside of his foot, Alfonso can get there, Hierro, the

ball for Zamorano… Goal for Real Madrid!

The delivery with the outside of the foot from Michel, he brought it down, Fernando Hierro killed it… …and Iván Zamorano blasted it home.

That is the virtue of having a midfielder who has no problem at all coming

into the box… …and laying off balls as if he were a center forward.

We can already see Fernando Hierro going into the box and he looks like a center forward, laying it off to Iván Zamorano… …who did not forgive.

All very well worked by the Madrid side.

That right leg of Michel that,

well, has set up, has provided many goals…

…to Real Madrid, but this time looking for the head of…

Here that ball dropped so he would not hit it over the crossbar. He achieved his goal, one–nil to Real Madrid.

Alfonso with the ball… A substitution, we are going to wait for this play, we will tell you about it in a moment.

Lezcurza sent the ball forward and Buyo is going to prevent the corner for Athletic Club de Bilbao.

He took it quickly, looking for Zamorano, Zamorano can get there… …careful, Asier has missed it, Zamorano is going to face Valencia’s goal… …he is going to look for the shot, shot… Goal!

…by Zamorano! The ball took its time to reach the net because Valencia got a hand to it…

…but the one who really put something in was the goal, and it was scored by Zamorano. Two–nil for the

Madrid. Let’s see if he makes the change, or if he’s going to say to Ramis, “Hey, sit down, kid, it’s already

two–nil.” But look how simple football is. A long clearance… …Zamorano

battles with Asier, carries the ball into the box… …shoots, two–nil.

And two from Zamorano. Two goals from Zamorano, now yes, Juan Carlos Nieto, the substitution for

Real Madrid. Yes, the first substitution for Real Madrid. Curiously, Dubovský and Butragueño were the first ones to warm up at nil–nil

and then at one–nil the ones warming up were

Ramis and also Nando. And Nando could also be the second substitution for the white team. Prosinečki comes off to

the applause of the crowd, let’s try to see if he comes towards the dressing room… Yes, Real Madrid are playing quite

well and now it is two–nil for us and I think it is a good result.

You and Madrid are starting to become what you should be.

Well, I think that lately Real Madrid have been playing very well and I am in pretty

good… and I am going to fight and play more, better. All right, thank you.

Everything was going well for Real Madrid. Careful, he has just gone down, penalty. Penalty.

Garitano went down on the grass in the box…

…and a penalty in favor of Athletic Club de Bilbao.

And I repeat, these double substitutions are not working out very well for Real Madrid.

Last week, winning the match against Sporting de Gijón… …he made the double substitution and immediately lost the match. But of course,

that was at one to zero and this is at two to zero. And this

is a penalty. And I do not know if it does not…

smell bad to me… There was a penalty, you know? Which tends to be

fatal, Buyo under the crossbar…

There goes Garitano, goal. Goal by Garitano, he totally fooled Paco Buyo…

…and now it is two to one.

And with Real Madrid having just made two substitutions.

He has taken off Prosinečki and Michel, Benito Floro… …has brought on Ramis and Nando. Madrid will line up as

follows: Nando will take the right-back position… Luis Enrique will move into

midfield… …and Ramis will join the center of the pitch. Which means only one striker, Zamorano, and five men in midfield… …and a much more defensive character for the team.

I would say so, but also

Luis Enrique is a very attacking player, right? And

maybe he does not have that finesse that Michel has…
