Los Blancos finally shake off their bogey team
Trending
Heading into match day thirty-seven, Real Madrid hadn’t beaten Valencia at home in the last four seasons. A record Zidane was keen on turning around.
At the Santiago Bernabeu, the past four encounters between the two sides had all ended in draws. The Bernabeu faithful were a tad tranquil compared to their generally boisterous behaviour. The rain was pouring down in the capital city which could have made it extremely tricky for the home side.
But they didn’t let any of that deter them. From minute one, Madrid asserted themselves on the visitors, who hardly had a sniff at goal, especially in the first half. Real’s back four weren’t made to work hard.
With Keylor Navas injured, Kiko Casilla made a rare appearance – only his third of the season in La Liga. Unfortunately for him, he couldn’t keep a clean sheet. Zidane’s men made sure that the title race will go down to the wire courtesy of goals from Ronaldo and Benzema. We’re set for a nerve-wracking match day thirty-eight, next week.
