#2 Injuries
Injuries to key players like Isco and Marcelo left Real Madrid licking their wounds. Both these players are important in breaking down opposing defences with their dribbling and creativity. Add to that, Gareth Bale had his fair share of knocks and so did Dani Carvajal.
Karim Benzema will be out for two weeks with his latest injury he picked up from the last match vs Alaves. Evidently, Real Madrid missed their firepower with backups not suitable to fill their gap.
