But they failed to defend their lead as Karim Benzema scored the equalizer for Real Madrid in the 73rd minute. In the injury time, he scored his second to secure all 3 points for the Galacticos.

Zinedine Zidane welcomed back Sergio Ramos to the team after 10 matches as the Real Madrid captain was out for injury. After the match, Real Madrid’s boss appreciates the effort of Elche. He said, “Elche is a team that defends very well and works very hard.”

He was also delighted with his players’ attitude throughout the match. He said, “When a rival closes you down like that it’s tough for every team. We’re the ones who have to find solutions.

Real Madrid is now second in the table, 5 points behind the league leaders Atletico Madrid. However, this was surely a mental boost for Zinedine Zidane’s team before midweek’s UEFA Champions League clash against Atalanta.
