Real Madrid scored a difficult victory for its guest Eibar 3-1 in its first appearance in the Spanish League after the break due to the Corona pandemic.
Real Madrid took the lead early thanks to German Toni Kroos, who left the ball in the left corner of Eibar goalkeeper in the fourth minute.
Contrary to what was expected, the Royal Club found it difficult to build the attacks against the high pressure imposed by the opposing team, and it did not succeed in adding the second goal until the 30th minute through its captain Sergio Ramos.
Brazilian Marcelo added the third goal in the 37th minute, to end the first half with three cleans for Real.
The second half saw a clear impact of a number of Real players, and it seemed that they had not yet regained their full physical potential after the long pause period, and the five changes that were granted to the teams during this period were not enough to save the coach Zinedine Zidane, who found it difficult to run the match.
The difficulty increased with Eibar scoring his first goal through Pedro Pegas in the 60th minute, to push into the attack in search of a return in the result, but the match ended in favor of Madrid 3-1.
Real Madrid raised its score to 59 points, two points behind leaders Barcelona, ten rounds before the end of the tournament.
Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 with Celtic Bilbao earlier today, leaving Diego Simeone's side in sixth place with 46 points.
