Real Betis lost to Madrid by 2-1 as their former star Ceballos scored wonderful bottom right corner low free-kick late winning goal. That 20 yards low free-kick was the highlight of the game which earns the most important 3 points for Madrid.

A hard fought win. But they look so bad in the game. Madrid badly needs someone to lead the attack. Individual moments of brilliance wouldn't save them for a very long time. Real Betis is a really good team. They beat Barcelona this season but what I love of Madrid is that 3-5-2 formation played by Solari. It was the only way to beat a team like Betis however putting players like Isco and Marcelo on the bench is not a good idea. We need creativity in the field. The way Madrid won is not the way fans wanted to. Betis played really well yesterday, that played with possession. Their players played so courageous game. The score seems like levelled but super-sub Ceballos came, ask for a free kick and he scored wonderfully against the former club to seal the most needed victory for Madrid. Whatever the game was, at the end that all matters is 3 points which Madrid got.

First win of 2019 for Madrid. I hope Madrid will back in winning ways and hopefully, we will see Madrid play the real game they used to play. Thanks to Modric and Ceballos for wonderful goals to win important game.
