The Frenchman opened the scoring after 29 minutes as Casemiro picked off Sofian Chakla’s pass and Luka Modric laid the ball into the path of Benzema, who scored through the legs of Sergio Asenjo.
From coach Zizou down to captain Ramos and Benzema, the victory is very well deserved following the extraordinary hard work.

Zinedine Zidane’s men were given a chance to double the lead when Los Blancos were awarded a penalty by referee Alejandro Hernandez after Chakla clipped Sergio Ramos, who whizzed forward.
In the resulting kick, the captain cheekily passed the ball off the spot for Benzema to score, only for the latter to encroach, but Benzema clinically dispatched the re-take into the bottom-left corner.
With seven minutes left to play, Vicente Iborra pulled one back for the Yellow Submarine, albeit, that could not deny the hosts all points at stake.
Kudos to you all. Now, we have the Champions League to fight for! Until then, Who will join me to party tonight? #HalaMadrid ¡VAMOS EQUIPO! #34Ligas | #RealFootball
