The yellows put an end this Friday to a frenetic week in which they can resume the positive course with which they closed 2024 or certify a black start to the year
UD Las Palmas left the Bernabéu crushed by a Madrid team that, led by Kylian Mbappé, licked its wounds after the Super Cup and reached the top at the expense of the yellows.
However, UD Las Palmas (and Fabio Silva in particular) can boast of having entered into the recent history of Real Madrid thanks to the goal they scored before the first minute of the match.
With this goal after 28 seconds, UD Las Palmas and the Portuguese striker enter the list of the earliest goals conceded by Real Madrid in the XNUMXst century; and they do so in second place.
Only Michu in his golden era at Rayo Vallecano scored a goal against Los Blancos before Fabio Silva's yesterday at the Bernabéu; specifically, the Asturian striker scored at the Whites' temple 17 seconds before Silva, 11 seconds into the match.
Coincidentally or not, that match also ended in a rout for the visitors, in this case 6-2. For the more superstitious who want to see a connection between both matches, it should be noted that despite the rout, Rayo Vallecano was saved that season.
At least the Yellows and Fabio Silva, with his goal after 28 seconds of play, will be able to boast of being the earliest goal at the new Santiago Bernabéu.
A reinforcement to close the door and prevent bleeding
After conceding 10 goals in the last 3 games, the yellow club has been active in the market to "catch" some reinforcements for the rearguard. The chosen one has been Andy Pelmard, a young versatile defender of 24 years who arrives to the island on loan.
Pelmard, of French origin, comes from Clermont although he was on loan at Lecce in Italy and has experience in European competitions, having played for Nice (a club where he is a youth player) and Basel. Pelmard is also an international under-21 with the French national team.
However, the defender is not exactly being used as an example, as he was suspended for drunk driving at Lecce and had his licence revoked.
An early final to put an end to the scares
This Friday, UD Las Palmas will host CA Osasuna at the Gran Canaria Stadium, with both teams looking for points to turn around their bad streaks.
The Yellows arrive with the responsibility of showing more solidity than in the first three games of the year and of regaining a positive dynamic that will keep them away from the relegation spots, which they are currently three points away from. For their part, Osasuna arrive after eight games without a win in La Liga, although they maintain a seven-point advantage over the relegation zone.
History favours the Canaries at home, but Osasuna already won 2-1 in the first leg, when El Sadar became an impregnable fortress for the Rojillos, which allowed them to reach that cushion of points that keeps them away from relegation despite the bad run that Vicente Moreno's team is going through.
