#4 Real Madrid fail to keep a clean sheet yet again, but are still unbeaten
Trending
The perfect night for Real Madrid was ruined by a goal six munites from time by Cultural Leonesa substitute Benja Martinez. In the grand scheme of things, a consolation goal in a 7-1 rout barely deserves any mention, but Zinedine Zidane would do well to take heed to this warning sign.
With Toni Kroos forced into action despite badly needing a rest as the only remotely defensive midifelder Real Madrid have, it was no surprise to see the ease with which the hosts bypassed the midfield to threaten Real Madrid’s backline time and time again. Casemiro cannot return soon enough for Los Blancos, but they have to find another internal solution to this problem.
Real Madrid have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 8 games, last earning a shutout against RCD Espanyol on 19th September in a 2-0 away win in La Liga. Yet, strangely, this win extended Real Madrid’s run of being unbeaten in all competitions to 25 games, now remaining the only team among the 98 clubs of Europe’s top 5 leagues to remain unbeaten this season.
