Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid
La Liga continues its action as we wrap up match day four before the international break. Real Madrid will clash horns with Real Betis and what should be a very interesting encounter We are in the luxurious City of Madrid which has plenty to offer one of the most famous cities in the world some incredible tourist landing spots such as the Royal Palace of Madrid The Royal Palace of Madrid (Spanish: Palacio Real de Madrid) is the official residence of the Spanish royal family at the city of Madrid, although now used only for state ceremonies. The palace has 135,000 m2 (1,450,000 sq ft) of floor space and contains 3,418 rooms. It is the largest royal palace in Europe. The palace is owned by the Spanish state and administered by the Patrimonio Nacional, a public agency of the Ministry of the Presidency.[4] The palace is on Calle de Bailén (“Bailén Street”) in the western part of downtown Madrid, east of the Manzanares River, and is accessible from the Ópera metro station. Felipe VI and the royal family do not reside in the palace, choosing instead the Palace of Zarzuela in El Pardo. The palace is on the site of a bygone Muslim-era fortress constructed by Emir Muhammad I of Córdoba in the 9th century. The imposing Alcázar of Madrid provided both a safe for the royal treasure and a habitual residence to the Trastámara monarchs in the late Middle Ages. Having endured substantial expansion works during the 16th century, the royal alcázar remained on the site until it burned down on 24 December 1734. A new palace was then built from scratch on the same site on behalf of the Bourbon dynasty. Construction spanned the years 1738 to 1755 and followed a Berniniesque design by Filippo Juvarra and Giovanni Battista Sacchetti in cooperation with Ventura Rodríguez, Francesco Sabatini, and Martín Sarmiento. During the Second Spanish Republic, the building was known as “Palacio Nacional”. The interior of the palace is notable for its wealth of art the use of many types of fine materials in the construction and the decoration of its rooms. It includes paintings by artists such as Caravaggio, Juan de Flandes, Francisco de Goya, and Velázquez, and frescoes by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Corrado Giaquinto, and Anton Raphael Mengs. Many of the paintings at some time hung in the palace as part of the Spanish royal collection are exhibited elsewhere, especially in the Prado Museum and the Royal Collections Gallery, both in Madrid. Other collections of great historical and artistic importance preserved in the building include the Royal Armoury of Madrid, porcelain, watches, furniture, silverware, and the world’s only complete Stradivarius string quintet.

Real Madrid had a little bit of a sloppy start to the season. However, quickly that has turned around as they are within a point of Barcelona at the top of the table. Two draws out of the first four games May not exactly be with a half mind. They are favored to win the Champions League again and have a great chance to retain La Liga. with the arrival of the best player in the world, Mbappe was supposed to take them to another level. It's been a little bit of a slow start but it seems like they've got it back in business. before Monday night He hadn't found the back of the net in La Liga since the Super Cup. He did well threatening the visitors In the first half couldn't break through. it took him some time but in the second half, he delivered score is the go-ahead goal with 25 minutes left. Then sinks a penalty to complete his price. He needed to get it out of the way and she finally truly arrived as the prince of Real Madrid. with the team they put together, there was always going to be a lot of pressure on them They haven't quite lived up to it as of yet, but with this win, it should give them a great deal of confidence. The match was close quarters But ultimately they managed to pull away in the end. we certainly haven't seen the best version of Real Madrid but hopefully, after Mbappe's double and the potential return of Jude Bellingham after the break, We should see it now. although Betis fell short of the mark and are having a difficult season. they handled the Bernabeu very well. making things as difficult as possible. On top of that, I had a couple of chances of their own that really could have caused a bit of adversity for Real Madrid. Even though they fell short of the mark in the end, their overall performance should give them a little bit of confidence going forward considering the mammoth that is Real. Madrid couldn't put them away until the very end, so even though it's been a bad start to the season, they'll take a little bit from this. hoping to slowly climb the cable after the break. Mbappe scores the devil as Real Madrid gets past Betis In Madrid.
