In the 91st minute, with the scoreboard still reading 2-2 and Real Madrid on the verge of dropping two points at home, Kylian Mbappe received the ball on the left flank. He did not shoot. He looked for a fraction of a second, and then whipped the ball across the box with a pass that forced goalkeeper Matias Dituro to step forward but unable to reach it. Carlos Espi, who had just entered from the bench, arrived at the meeting point and calmly slotted the ball into the net. 3-2. A goal that came from the foot of a man who had just won the young player award of the league, yet the decisive moment belonged to a substitute who had come on just minutes earlier. That was the moment I sat back in my office, rewound the footage three times, and realized the interesting part was not Espi's finish, but the fact that this season's Real Madrid is winning by walking down roads they never prepared for.
