ENOUGH! That was a picture book victory. Real Madrid with a thumping victory against Levante, but with a bitter aftertaste for the “Granotas”, because that means that the Valencia team can no longer be averted from relegation. For the team in white, on the other hand, the evening shows once again: This Real Madrid can hardly be overcome this season.

87 Mariano also tries his luck from the second row. Real Madrid aren’t hitting with long-range shots any more than Levante today, but every attempt so far has been dangerous.

82. HATTRICK! GOOOOOOOOOL DE VINÍCIUS JÚNIOR! The 6-0 is served to the Brazilian on a silver platter. After a hair-raising ball attempt, the winger doesn’t have to do much anymore and only pushes in after a short dribbling.

80 And Peter tries it! In his third appearance for the first team, the 19-year-old dribbles in via the right half, but shoots the ball over the box.

78. Small addendum: Unfortunately, Luka Modric picked up a yellow card shortly before being substituted and will miss Sunday’s game against Cádiz.

75 Double change at Real Madrid: Luka Modric says goodbye to the game with three assists, replaced by Castilla player Peter Carmona. Toni Kroos replaces Fede Valverde, who unfortunately couldn’t find his reward today.

67. VINÍCIUS MEETS THE SECOND TIME!!! GOL DEL REAAAAAL MADRID! Prize question: Who has a share of the goal? Of course, Luka Modric. And what would a Luka Modric be without an outside instep, a hit! However, the scorer point goes to fellow striker Karim Benzema, after a little dance in a one-on-one against Cárdenas, plays the last pass.

65 After 20 minutes in the second half, it becomes clear that Levante still has no access to the game and does not even know how to use the gaps that Real Madrid offer in a few moments. The Blancos shift down a gear, but do not lose one percent of the joy of playing.

62 Well deserved closing time for Rodrygo! Mariano is allowed another half hour.

59 Real leave a gap and Alejandro Cantero dribbles his way into the penalty area, where he then shoots, but the shot goes just wide of Courtoi’s goal.

57. The next offside goal!! This time it’s Vinícius, who just barely has his shoulder in the forbidden zone.

55. Karim Benzema plays a sugar pass to Rodrygo, who is completely free in front of the keeper and tries to complete the feat with a lob. Unfortunately that doesn’t work.

51. This does not bring a shot on goal, but Levante has possession of the ball. It is Pepelu who tries from a distance. That was better, but still too imprecise. Levante has no ideas.

49 Rodrygo comes in from the right, puts the ball inside on Benzema, who passes it straight to Luka Modric. His shot is deflected by Cárdenas for a corner.

47 Levante tries it from a distance in the person of Enis Bardhi. But the ball goes too far over it.

46 We are back! Real comes out of the cabin without a change. Levante, on the other hand, made two changes in the first half.

half time! A first half that was not to be expected. An invisible Levante concedes four goals and does not oppose anything. There is not much to see of relegation “fighting”. But the Blancos sparkle with creativity – the center of this game: Luka Modric, who gave three assists. Will Real spare the “Azulgranas” a little in the second half? We’ll see in a moment!

45 GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! AND NOW DO VINÍCIUS! And again Luka Modric initiates, who makes an extremely strong game. The pass is perfect and Vinícius pushes into the corner from the inside left position.

41 Fede Valverde’s second crossbar! Only a few centimeters are missing! But the fact that Valverde is able to shoot so freely is a testament to the performance of the Valencians.

37 Luka Modric almost rewards himself! Cárdenas saves the free-kick, but Valverde almost uses the rebound, who just volleys it. Strong save by the Levante keeper.

33. 3-0 REAL MADRID, GOOOOOOOOL DE RODRYGO GOES!!! For the second time in this game, Luka Modric is involved in goal, who can move almost freely in the penalty area. Nobody disturbs and so the pass to Rodrygo is free, who just has to hold out his foot.

30 Rodrygo’s offside goal, which runs into the interface and is operated by Karim Benzema. But there is no doubt about this decision.

28 Levante grabbed the ball for a moment. However, the attempt to play forward via the middle fails and instead it goes in the other direction again. Vinícius gets a shot, but it is blocked.

25 The next chance. Rodrygo lays flat on Real’s number 9, but he just misses the goal.

23 Carlo Ancelotti’s team is very resourceful, combines well and always manages to get the ball into the penalty area. Levante doesn’t get a breather here.

22 And it goes on. Vinícius has a shot, but Cárdenas saves. Another corner. Levante manage to get the ball out of the penalty area, but Los Blancos immediately take control again and build up their game from behind.

19 BUT NOW! 2-0 KARIM BENZEMA. GOOOOOOOL! Vinícius Júnior hits the outstanding cross and Benzema completes. With that, the Frenchman scores goal #323 and officially catches up with Real Madrid legend Raúl!

18 And again there is a free kick for Levante, but Valverde heads the ball out of the box. Los Blancos’ transition is good but Karim Benzema fails to get the ball on target.

15. And Fede Valverde’s almost 2-0! After a corner, Luka Modric puts in a superb cross, but Valverde’s shot bounces off the post. Pity!

13. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOL FERLAND MENDY!!! 1: 0 for Real after almost a quarter of an hour! After Camavinga won the ball powerfully on the edge of his own penalty area, Luka Modric picks up the pace and passes the pass to Mendy, who nets safely!

9. A free kick is awarded after Vallejo fouled Levante’s Melero near the 16 mark. Which is deflected and leads directly to the corner, but after a handball by Dani Gómez, the goal kick continues.

7. The first standard in the game goes to Levante. But the corner brings nothing. A fairly quiet start to the game so far.

5. Camavinga with a long ball from behind to Karim Benzema, who wants to take Luka Modric with him, but then the ball is lost.

2. First chance for Real! Karim Benzema has a shot from a central position, but Levante keeper Daniel Cárdenas saves.

1. And let’s go! Real Madrid as usual in white and Levante in blue and red. Karim Benzema picked up the Player of the Month trophy before the game. More than deserved!

¡Hola y buenas noches! As announced by Levante coach Alessio Lisci, there is the “Pasillo” from the opponent, which was denied by Atlético Madrid last week.

REAL MADRID LINEUP: Here’s how Los Blancos line up in the penultimate home game of the season: Courtois – Vázquez, Vallejo, Nacho, Mendy – Valverde, Camavinga, Modric – Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius.

Bench: Lunin, Fuidias, Militao, Gila, Casemiro, Kroos, Peter, Mariano, Jović.

With Militão, Casemiro and Kroos, three regulars are allowed to take a break, while Courtois, Mendy, Valverde, Modrić, Benzema and Vinícius return to the starting XI.

STAFF: Now in the final sprint, Carlo Ancelotti has to plug a few holes in the starting eleven, but this still gives the coach, who has often been criticized for his lack of flexibility, the opportunity to rotate a little. Whole eight players absence: isco, Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale are still not operational. In defense, three players are left out: Marcelo, David Alaba and Dani Carvajal. Daniel Ceballos still plagues the hamstring and Marco Asensio joins the injured list with ankle problems. The coach has an opportunity against Levante “to give minutes to those who didn’t play Atlético” and thus refers to the core forces such as Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior or Thibaut Courtois, who were rested against the “Rojiblancos” in addition to others. As always, you can see the expected line-up and more detailed information on the personnel situation in our preliminary report.

¡HOLA A TODOS! The final phase of the season begins and real Madrid gets it in this English week UD Levant to do. In the first leg, the “Granotes” had already set a small exclamation mark, the game ended 3:3. This LaLiga season, only FC Barcelona managed to give Los Blancos more goals. In addition, Carlo Ancelotti is struggling with some personnel worries and, in addition to the last three games of the season, still has to master the balancing act with preparation for the Champions League final. However, the Italian clearly sets the focus at the press conference: “We have dedicated the time these days after the Atlético game exclusively to the game against Levante. (…) We are not currently preparing for the final, but are trying to win back players who are currently not ready for action. Whether the home game at the Santiago Bernabéu from 9:30 p.m has a win in store for Real? Or can Levante, in the middle of a relegation battle in 20th place, tease the Spanish champions in the second leg as well? You can do it here as usual REAL TOTAL– Follow the live ticker and DAZN.
