Shot on foot: Real lost 2-1 to Levante

Spanish League 20-21

Game board

Outstanding Actor


Jose Luis Morales, Score: 7
This wonderful and unending striker always makes trouble for Real Madrid, and this time scored a great goal that brought his team back to business and helped the revolution

The disappointing actor


Vinicius Jr., Score: 3
Did more harm than good from the moment he got in, when he caused a penalty kick from 11 yards out and a lot of losing balls. Not the contribution they hoped to receive from the Brazilian

Real Madrid of the season just fails to rise and connect a streak of good results. The Blancos hosted Levante today (Saturday) and lost 2-1 at home to ten players, which may not only help Atletico at the top move away, but may also help Barcelona equalize with the Whites. The game, like all Spanish league games, was broadcast on channel ONE for yes, HOT Cellcom TV and Partner TV subscribers.

This is already the fourth loss this season of Zinedine Zidane’s team in the league, one more than it had last season. The summit and title now seem farther away than ever, but what should perhaps most worry the coach whose job is in doubt is ability – the frogs held the ball longer and came up with 2 more situations – 14 versus just 7.

Real were embarrassed by Levante with a 1: 2 loss at home

The Blancos did not get used to the missing squad that came up and were already left with a numerical disadvantage, when Adar Militeau who received the credit in the 11th in the absence of Sergio Ramos continued to screw up when he committed a silly offense that earned him a direct red card after just eight minutes. Despite having ten players left, the Whites managed to score quickly when Tony Cross who has not stopped cooking recently arranged for Marco Asensio the first in the 13th minute.

The team from Valencia did not lose their confidence despite the absorption and went ahead. Even before the half she managed to equalize the result, when Jose Luis Morales, the endless captain of the Frogs, found the net of Thibaut Courtois in a wonderful volley. In the second half Eden Hazard got tired, but Vinicius Jr. who came in his place did more harm than good and caused a penalty kick from 11 yards to the host’s duty.

Luckily for Real Madrid, they have a goalkeeper at goal, and Thibaut Courtois managed to stop Roger Marty from the penalty spot and prevent the Frogs from completing a makeover, which the Blancos would hardly have come back from with a lesser player. In the end, Levante’s goal was inevitable and the one who scored it was the same Marty, who atoned for the miss with a bomb to the far corner in the 78th minute and put his team in the top half of the table. Black sheep have we already said?
