Endrick wins his 2nd Brazilian league title with Palmeiras.
The hype is real. 6 goals in the last 8 games towards the business end of the season for Palmeiras to help them clinch the Brasileiro Série A . Overtaken Neymar and only behind El Fenomino for most goals scored in the Brazilian League by U-17 players. Coming soon to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Defense wins championships.
Real Madrid are having a great season defensively. Who would have thought that with both Militao and Courtois going down. But players have stepped up big time and here we are. With Carvajal going down as well this might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back but let’s hope not. This stat below will be key to monitor going forward.
Real Madrid’s defensive numbers this season are the best in their history.
They improve – for now – their best historical defensive record of the 19-20 campaign with Zidane, who won La Liga with 25 goals conceded (0.66 per game) compared to the 0.60 they have on average now.… pic.twitter.com/9WTxzjDB7a
