What better way to get back to winning ways and win back the heart of fans than utilizing the opportunity of thrashing relegation threatened team on your turf.
Real Madrid put five past Leganese at the Bernabeu to make up for the disappointing 1-0 loss they got against Mallorca last week.
Zinedine Zidane unleashed his best eleven at Leganese with Thuibat Courtois standing in goal. Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane partnering each other in defence while Marcelo and Dani Carvajal completed the backline in their left back and right back positions respectively.
In midfield, Zidane refuses to rest Brazilian anchor Casemiro as the defensive midfielder has racked up minutes more than any Real Madrid player this season. He was partnered by Toni Kroos and Fede Valverde.
The attack witnessed Eden Hazard, Karim Benzema and the in-form youngster, Rodrgyo Goes who is currently calling the right wing his own and adapting to the requirements.
It took just seven minutes for Real Madrid to open scoring as Rodrygo was on hand to score a Benzema pass. Two minutes after that goal was scored, Toni Kroos scored another.
A penalty was afforded to Real Madrid and Sergio Ramos duly converted in the second time of asking. Next was a Benzema penalty and finally, Luka Jovic opened his scoring.
Conclusion
It is worth noting that Zinedine Zidane has got a luxurious and exceptional squad at his disposal. Luka Jovic showed why he was bought to the best club in the world, Real Madrid. The striker showed how much power he has got in his head and although he was about being denied his first goal by VAR, he kept his head down and scored a second.
Real Madrid returns to second position and remain a point below league leaders Barcelona. They return to league action this Saturday with a travel to Real Betis. A must win match for Zidane and his men as they can no longer afford to lose any more point.
