This is how Eder Militão's stunning goal against Leganés happened: the video leaks and it impresses

One of the preseason 25/26 events for Real Madrid has undoubtedly been the match against Leganés held at the Valdebebas Sports City. The white team played in absolute secrecy one of its preparation matches for the upcoming campaign, generating great anticipation among Madridists.

As the day progressed, practically all the details of that match became known, a match that has left several protagonists. The most striking is, without a doubt, Éder Militão. The Brazilian center-back has raised many doubts during the Club World Cup given his recovery from his anterior cruciate ligament injury.

However, Xabi Alonso seems to trust him notably. After all, he was one of the most outstanding defenders in the clash against the pepinero team... to the point that some of the first-team coaches have pointed out that he is starting to look like the old Militão, with the performance level he had before all his injuries.

The goal scored against Leganés would be one of the best examples of Éder Militão's return. The play, leaked by the "3" verdeamarelo himself through his social media, is captured from one of the drones that Xabi Alonso uses for video analysis. In it, you can see how the defender receives a short pass in the defensive zone.

Very outstanding

None of Leganés's strikers decide to press, causing Militão to be able to advance a few more meters (ft.). Then he lifts his head and, upon noticing the opposing goalkeeper slightly off his line, tries his luck with a shot from his own half. The ball flies and ends up slipping into Leganés's goal with elegance and power.

Éder Militão's accuracy is not widely celebrated, despite the great goal he scored, because of the setting in which it occurred: a preseason friendly. In any case, the South American defender is starting to show signs that his injuries are behind him. The Club World Cup was the first step to regain competitive rhythm.

His few minutes accumulated during the tournament held in the United States, as well as the intensity of the work accumulated during the preseason, are proving key to getting Éder Militão back. Especially because Xabi Alonso has a big question right now: which player should partner Dean Huijsen in the center of the defense.

Militão seems to be in top form, but he also has to wait for Antonio Rüdiger and a young Raúl Asencio eager to prove himself. The same goes for David Alaba, who played as a midfielder during the friendly against Leganés and could face a position change to add all the minutes he would like this season.
