Opposed to Elche this Sunday as part of the 22nd day of La Liga, Real Madrid is living a nightmare at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. Because in the first period, Karim Benzema missed a penalty (33rd) and the visitors then took the opportunity to open the scoring through Lucas Boye (42nd, 0-1). And to make matters worse, the French striker was injured!
Apparently hit in the left thigh, the Madrid number 9 had to be replaced by Luka Jovic shortly before the hour mark (58th). A huge blow for the French international (94 caps, 36 goals) and Casa Blanca but fortunately there will be no match next until February 3 and the King’s Cup quarter-final against Athletic.
