Real Madrid C.F 3-2 Levante UD : 5 Talking Points and Tactical Analysis | LaLiga 2019/20

#2 Real Madrid's class shone through

Real Madrid CF v Levante UD - La Liga

Despite what the scoreline reflects, Real Madrid were just unplayable in the first 45 minutes of the game. James, Kroos and Casemiro ran the show from the centre whereas Marcelo, Carvajal, Vazquez and Vinicius Jr. bombarded the flanks.

Real's defence had nothing to do in the first half except for resisting the press from Levante and getting out of tight spaces, which they did with ease. Courtois made his first save of the game in the 91st minute to deny Levante an equaliser and that speaks volumes of what a game the Los Blancos had. Barring those two lapses which lead to goals for the visitors, Real couldn't be blamed for doing much wrong.

Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane helped build from the back whereas the fullbacks enjoyed their time in the opposition's half. Casemiro had a good game as he nullified any threat that came from the centre of the park and Kroos, James and Benzema's link-up was a treat to watch, which continued after Hazard's introduction as well
