Real Madrid continues to face challenges in their season, with a string of less-than-convincing performances. After being held to a draw by Villarreal (0-0) and securing a controversial victory against Elche (2-1), the team is grappling with various issues in their gameplay.
Despite a significant win against Copenhagen in the Champions League during the week, Real Madrid struggled against Levante on Saturday. Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates faced considerable difficulties, managing to secure a victory only in the 92nd minute, thanks to a goal from Ronaldo himself.
The win, while providing relief, doesn’t entirely mask the deficiencies in Real Madrid’s overall gameplay. Two African players, Senegalese Baba Diawara and Nabil El Zhar, were key contributors for Levante. Diawara opened the scoring, and although Sergio Ramos equalized, El Zhar’s goal in the 85th minute put Levante back in the lead.
Alvaro Morata, substituting for the relatively quiet Karim Benzema, once again leveled the score before Cristiano Ronaldo, in the 92nd minute, emerged as the savior for Real Madrid with a decisive goal. The final score was 3-2, highlighting the team’s struggle and the need for improvement in their performance.
