Real Madrid has steadfastly stepped towards its first domestic title since 2017 in the Spanish League by beating home Alves 2-0 in the 35th round of La Liga football today. And the victory is the eighth next to Real Madrid after the resumption of football activity in Spain to restore the four-point difference separating it from its traditional rivals Barcelona (80 vs. 76 points) three stages before the end of the league, while the victory was historic because Karim Benzema's second goal is 500 under the management of French coach Zine Religion Zidane. And the royal team needed two wins in its last three matches to be crowned a champion.
Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos was absent from the accumulation of yellow cards, so the Brazilian defender Ader Militau was replaced by Frenchman Rafael Varane. The same applies to right-back Danny Carbajal and Lucas Vasquez replaced him.
The Belgian winger, Hazar, was convicted of returning to the squad after his absence from the last two games against Getafe and Athletic Bilbao due to a slight injury to his ankle. He sat on the bench of the reserve players before taking part in the late match. Real Madrid entered the game and need to achieve three victories in the remaining matches to crown the champion for the first time since 2017.
Real Madrid received a penalty after Navarro hindered left-wing French left-back Benjamin Mende who played instead of injured Brazilian Marcelo, who will be sidelined until the end of the season. Karim Benzema successfully managed to open the scoring (12).
Oliver Burke headed the ball a distance of 50 meters before he overtook the Brazilian Casemiro and hit a creeping ball that brilliantly tackled the Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois (27). Real Madrid succeeded in adding the second goal after a quick counter-attack in which Benzema broke the offside trap and passed a cross towards Marco Asuncio, to follow the latter from close range inside the net (51). Benzema almost doubles the yield of his team, but the goalkeeper intervened brilliantly, saving his team from a certain goal (58).
