The outlet revealed that Real Madrid feels confident but is “unwilling to make what they would view as a ‘crazy’ offer” for the young star. The club is allegedly very confident they can get a deal done because of the strong relationship between Madrid president Florentino Perez and Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke.

[Upcoming fixtures](/soccer/fixtures?league=eng.1) We didn't defend well, the team wasn't compact, but in this difficult situation we come away with three points, with a great game from Courtois, a great game from Benzema, so we end an unforgettable year well. Real Madrid keeper Thibault Courtois, on the clean sheet: "The clean sheet was good for us today. In this second part of the season we'll see a different Karim to in the first part." Got away with one handball inside the penalty area, only to give away another later on. [Best/worst performers](#bestworst) Both were involved in Madrid's first-half penalty appeal but faded fast and were substituted long before the end. [Highlights and notable moments](#highlights) In the second half, Madrid created few clear chances, with just as much danger coming from Valladolid at the other end, until the 83rd minute penalty converted by Benzema. After being sent home by France before the World Cup began, the hope was that Benzema's extra time on the training ground at Valdebebas -- combined with the burning desire to remind everyone why he was named the world's best player two months ago -- would see him finally firing on all cylinders after a stop-start, injury hit disappointment of a season. The result could be seen for much of the game against Valladolid. His performance at Valladolid on Friday was a slow-burning start to putting that right.

The decision sent the home team into a frenzy and Leon was sent off for dissent. "We did well in the first half and we controlled the game. Real were awarded a penalty in the 83rd minute for handball by Javi Sanchez.

Real Madrid moved top of La Liga with an unconvincing 2-0 win against 10-man Real Valladolid on Friday.

Five of those attempts came from at least as close to the goal as the penalty spot, underlining the visitors' late dominance in this match. Compare this with the devastating impact that the injuries to Mesa and Escudero had on Valladolid's performance. A huge miss by the French veteran. Friday's victory over Valladolid was a perfect demonstration of the champions' strength in depth. A full team of seasoned internationals started the match for Madrid, and yet manager Ancelotti was able to call on Rodrygo, Luka Modric, Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga as second-half substitutes. In the furious aftermath, Sergio Leon was sent off.

Karim Benzema scored twice in the last 10 minutes to settle an uneasy Real Madrid as they picked up a 2-0 win against struggling Real Valladolid.

Courtois kept them in it, and their star striker found the net twice. Real were on the back foot for long periods, and relied on the sharp reflexes of Thibaut Courtois to keep them in the game. They found holes in a makeshift Madrid midfield trio, testing an often sloppy backline for most of proceedings.

It was the 20-year-old Veiga’s fourth goal of the season. Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli overhauled his attacking scheme after playmaker Isco Alarcón, who had been used as a “false nine” before the World Cup break, left the club by mutual agreement last week. Brazil forward Vinícius Júnior closed his eyes and lifted his head upwards in midfield with the other players. He then got low to turn back León’s header in the 68th. Benzema had a subdued showing in his first competitive match since Nov. I bet the Karim of last year would have scored even more goals, but it is good for him to get this double.”
