Despite a particularly lacking squad, Real Madrid managed tonight (Tuesday) to put together a second consecutive victory thanks to a 0-2 draw over Hattafa at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium.
After Atletico Madrid's 2-2 draw with Salta Vigo, the Blancos managed to narrow the gap from the top to just 5 points and signal that the championship battle in Spain is not yet hermetically sealed (so it is important to note that Real have two extra games over the leader).
So after 60 minutes in which Real Madrid completely dominated the grass, Zinedine Zidane's team finally found the net: Vinicius Jr. picked up a ball into the box and found Benzema hitting the ball into the net from close range.
0: 1 to Real.
6 minutes later, the joy was doubled after Marcelo put out a wide ball to Parlan Mandy, who had no trouble pushing the favorite of the favorite up close.
The last time Hattafa managed to beat the Spanish champion was almost nine years ago.
Since then, the Blancos have recorded 13 wins and one draw over the opponent.
Turns out, habits are a little hard to change.
