Alaba celebrates emotional comeback: Real Madrid back at the top!
Austrian football star David Alaba celebrated a fantastic comeback for Real Madrid after being sidelined for 13 months due to a serious knee injury. On Sunday he experienced his emotional return moment at his home Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, where the spectators enthusiastically received him with a standing ovation. The game against Las Palmas went perfectly for him, as Real dominated with a final score of 4-1, which allowed Alaba to feel comfortable back on the pitch. This return was of great importance not only for him personally, but also for the team, as with this victory they regained the top of the table, while Atlético Madrid surprisingly lost krone.at reported.
Emotional comeback and solid performance
In the game against Girona, which Real won 2-0, Alaba had already shown some of his qualities before he was substituted in the 73rd minute. He remained calm and fit well into the team, which contributed to the club's quick return to success. Luka Modric and Vinicius Junior scored the goals, while Alaba gained confidence in his first appearances after suffering an adductor injury in two games. His comeback was not only the personal success of a squad that had to have caught up, but also a sign of the fighting spirit of the “Royal”, who had remained winless in three competitive games, according to reporting by vienna.at.
Returning to the pitch was a relief for Alaba after he also missed EURO 2024 and rumors arose about a possible end to his career. Together with ski ace Marco Schwarz, who also suffered serious injuries, he supported himself in rehab. Ultimately, Alaba shines again on the pitch and his comeback was visibly celebrated by his teammates and fans. He is now expected to continue his form and provide crucial support to Real Madrid in the league.
