SD Huesca 0-1 Real Madrid: 5 Talking Points, La Liga 2018-19

#2 Huesca showed courage and purpose

For a side that is languishing at the foot of the table, having won just one game all season, this was a game most Huesca fans were dreading expecting to be thrashed by the mighty visitors. It was a perfect case of David vs Goliath. Huesca had other plans though, and it looked as if they had studied Real's defeat to Eibar quite extensively, operating with almost the same gameplan. Their pressing was superb, never allowing Real's technically superior players a moment's rest on the ball, and the Huesca players were constantly trying to rob the men in white and start an attack of their own.

Their players seemed to have an extra yard of pace, but their technical quality, or lack thereof, was the downfall for the home side. They had two glorious chances to get in front either side of the break, but both were put wide of Thibaut Courtois' gaping goal. The Belgian really had to work for his first away clean sheet in the league, as Huesca were a constant threat to Real's high backline.
