It has returned LaLiga and also has done it the current champion with his visit to José Zorrilla. The Real Madrid arrived with the obligation to win to continue with hopes of the leadership and has resolved it with a victory suffered, thanks to a goal of Karim Benzema from the point penalti and another after a 'jugadón' of Camavinga that converted the '9' in a crash in which the controversy (for both teams) reigned.

The Madrid gave the feeling, of start, that it followed on holiday post-World-wide. The ones of Carlo Ancelotti, with a very recognizable alignment and with the novelty of Karim Benzema leading again to the team, confronted to a very serious Valladolid that planted expensive and cost of the errors and disconnections of the madridistas for incomodar to Thibaut Courtois.

The White House was the first in proposing and, before the ten minutes, could advance after a big taconazo of Benzema, that left the balloon so that Asensio shot. Masip Cleared, but the refuse fell him to a Ceballos that, after a jugadón, cwent in so that Javi Sánchez (with the foot and afterwards with the hand) avoided the finish of the '9' in mouth of goal. The referee did not signal at all.

Further of a balloon to the clouds of Benzema after a clear of Masip, the Valladolid did present in the field of the Real Madrid and signed the clearest occasion so that Courtois dressed of hero and saved to his: The balloon fell him to a Watered in the frontal that took out a shot adjusted so that the guardameta Belgian flew. It commanded the balloon, 'in extremis', to the corner.

The Madrid, with a lot of difficulties

The ones of 'Pacheta' signed a very serious party and the Madrid, even after the resumption and the entry of Rodrygo and Lucas Vázquez, showed his denser version and without shine. Courtois Went back to appear of anthological way in a double occasion for the history: First to cover a shot from the corner of Aguado, that wanted the olympic goal, and afterwards a stop down to take out a head butt of Sergio León.

The Madrid tried to react with an occasion of Vinícius, that hammered it above Masip to command it above the crossbar and with one of Benzema with a finish very demanded that it left by the side of the network after a pass of Camavinga. The '9' went back to fail, without being able to finish a centre of Valverde, that finish recovering Fresneda.

Benzema, without football but with goal

When the party was more complicated for the Madrid, a hand of Javi Sánchez after a finish of head of Rüdiger, gave life to the Madrilenian because it earned a penalti in favour that Karim Benzema resolved with solvency after deceiving to Masip. In the middle of the chaos, Sergio León was expelled with red direct so that the Madrid, much more comfortable, closed the party with a 0-2.
