Real Madrid is in the midst of a tight schedule, but no less critical – at a time when it has to deal with quite a few shortcomings due to injuries. Despite this, the Blancos put aside all the problems tonight (Sunday) and put on a great game en route to a 0-2 draw against Valencia at the home ground of Alfredo Di Stefano. The game, like all Spanish league games, was broadcast on channel ONE for yes, HOT Cellcom TV and Partner TV subscribers.

Eden Hazard, Marcelo, Adar Militeau, Sergio Ramos, Albero Odriosola, Rodrigo and Federico Valverda in the endless list of injured Zinedine Zidane. The white of Madrid.

0: 2 to Blancos over Valencia, Benzema and Cross scored

The champion showed that she can do well and recorded a good game and a third consecutive victory, which raised her at least temporarily to second place in the table at the expense of Barcelona with a missing game, as well as a temporary gap of 5 points from the leader Atletico. In addition, the Whites also achieved sporting revenge in Valencia for losing 4-1 in the first round. The bats may lose 12th place in the table. Saturday: Real vs. Sean Weissman and Valladolid.

The first half was perhaps the Blancos’ best of the season when it comes to ball control. The hostess started well and already in the first minutes she pressed forward in an attempt to find the net – and it paid off for her. After a miss by Casimiro, in the 12th minute Cross’ crossing ended in a wonderful goal by Karim Benzema with a twisting kick from the edge of the net to the net. Later the Frenchman and Modric threatened Domenech’s goal when Real recorded quite a few decent attacks, which also ended in another goal. Lucas Vasquez who replaced Danny Carvajal cooked for Tony Cross, shooting a sharp ball typical of the net. 0: 2 for the whites at the break.

Even in the second half Real continued to dictate the pace. Valencia were not in fact an opponent and apart from a rare Maxi Gomes kicking attempt they did not make life difficult for Tibo Courtois between the posts. In the 62nd minute, Perlan Mandy celebrated the third goal of the game, but after a test in VAR, the goal was disqualified on the grounds that he was different. The last minutes were actually Garbage Time and in the end 0: 2 a part for Real Madrid, which overcame the shortcomings.
