Incidentally, the former Champions league played without their injured forward, Karim Benzema, sidelined due to a thigh injury. “The team was able to overcome the absence of Karim. It’s an important confidence boost,” said Ancelotti. “(But) we hope to get him back as soon as possible.”
The victory has now left Real on 15 points with five wins from five matches. Interestingly, they are two points ahead of Barcelona, who dispatched Cadiz 4-0 on Saturday. Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao climbed up to fourth following a 4-1 victory at second-bottom Elche.
