Real Madrid vs Las Palmas: 5 Talking Points

Crisi
Cristiano Ronaldo was relentless against Las Palmas

#4. Las Palmas are toast if they don't get their act together

Las Palmas
Las Palmas was content to sit deep and frustrate Madrid

Granted, for a team that's within an arm's length of rock bottom in the La Liga, things weren't expected to get better at the Bernabeu. But fans would have expected Las Palmas to play with their heart on their sleeves to eke out a point like they did twice against Zizou's men last term.

They've lost 7 games on a trot in the league now and there are few signs which point towards sunnier days for Pako's men. They weren't without the rare chance but they were half-chances at best.

For the rest of the game though, Las Palmas sat deep and tried to frustrate Real Madrid. All the entertainment they provided came from some enterprising solo runs-- which unfortunately came to no good as well.
