DBasia.news – Real Madrid continued their minor trend after the defeat against Deportivo Alaves with a 0-1 score in the 8th week of LaLiga.
In the match at Mendizzorroza Stadium, Real Madrid got a bit bad luck. Los Blancos had to admit the host’s superiority despite the dominant performance throughout the match.
Julen Lopetegui squad scored 70 percent ball possession compared to 30 percent. Meanwhile, regarding the opportunity, Madrid scored 13 shots.
But, all the statistic became meaningless after Manuel Garcia scored the goal at 90+5′. El Real had to go home with an empty hand after the 1-0 defeat.
Gareth Bale
Moreover, Madrid got a bad news after the two prominent players, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale, got the injuries.
Benzema sidelined after he experienced the pain. The French player was replaced by Mariano at 46′.
Next, Bale followed Benzema to the medical room. The Wales national team player withdrew and replaced by Vinicius Junior 10 minutes before the match ends.
“Karim and Gareth had injuries, so we had to make decisions regarding changes,” Lopetegui explained.
“That’s football, that’s the way it goes, and today all the negatives came out. We have the international break now, so we can get back to what we’re doing,” the former Spain national team continued.
This is the first time Real Madrid failed to score the goal in four matches in the official competitions since April 1985.
