Thrilling comeback sends Real Madrid Castilla into the playoffs.

Raul’s boys will not be denied. This has been the gauntlet that his Castilla team have consistently laid down since a mini-derby victory just before Christmas. COVID, blistering weather, injuries, first team call-ups and a quality run of opponents have all tried to stop them and one by one they have been toppled.
Real Madrid Castilla came into this match against Talavera knowing that victory would seal a place in the Segunda division playoffs. Having collected just two points from their first three games, it was a opportunity that didn’t seem likely midway through this second phase, but fortune and the reserves consistent “never say die” attitude put them back in the conversation.
