Real Madrid

Follow all the action from the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu - KO 10:15 a.m. ET.

Madrid are sitting in a 4-2-3-1 and are forced into a long ball game due to the pressure. The Spaniard gets the ball from his teammate and is brought down on the edge of the box, but Mr. Karim 'The Dream' Benzema is the captain of the XI today and Madrid fans will be praying to the heavens that he makes it through the game without getting any battle scars. Granted, the stadium doesn't look in tip top condition given the building works, but it is still an impressive sight for both the players and fans. FC Barcelona continued to steamroll the league and smashed 4 past Elche in last night's game. After a somewhat shaky start, Madrid turned on the style in blazing fashion and never looked back. Everyone wants to get in on the potential goal-party. He gives the ball to the Brazilian before getting it straight back and smacking a controlled shot past Asenjo. Again, MIlitão is there for Madrid to sweep up the danger. A poor clearance from Asenjo lands at the feet of Hazard, who plays a through pass to Lucas on the right. A goal from the Belgian would be a particular low point for Valladolid, even today. Asenjo's save is spilled and almost falls to Vallejo, who saw his name in lights.
