Real Madrid 3-2 Levante: 3 Reasons why the Los Blancos won the game | LaLiga 2019-20

#2 Solid contributions in the midfield

James Rodriguez worked tirelessly throughout the game

Real Madrid was left with only three options in the midfield and all three of them started. All three of Madrid's midfield players - James Rodriguez, Toni Kroos, and Casemiro, were brilliant against Levante.

Casemiro provided the screen for the back four and his impact was felt as soon as he was taken off. Madrid's defence looked brittle without Casemiro patrolling the area between their defensive lines. He scored the third goal for Madrid before half-time which proves to be the difference in the scoreline.

Toni Kroos put on a passing show - completing 79 passes at a success rate of 97%. He provided 3 key passes and completed 9/9 long balls attempted. The German won 5/8 duels on the ground and made 10 ball recoveries in the game.

James Rodriguez worked tirelessly throughout the game. He pressed for the ball even in the dying minutes of the game. He assisted Benzema for his second goal with a good through ball. Rodriguez provided 5 key passes and won 3/3 tackles.

A good midfield performance by all of Madrid's personnel.
