Unique. Real Madrid scored 6 goals, conceded only three. Valverde made the difference with this beautiful goal

Real Madrid played Elche on Wednesday and had to win. He knew that if he lost on the ground of the underdog, he would completely throw away the weekend’s win in El Clásico. It did, only Los Blancos were quite frustrated with the disallowed goals.

The defending La Liga and Champions League champions have been riding high since the new season. In 15 competitive matches, Carlo Ancelotti’s charges have not yet known defeat, and apart from the results, the players are pleasing the fans with great performances.

However, after the big defeat of Barcelona, Real had to confirm this win with Elche. Ancelotti didn’t want to take any risks, there was no rotation and he deployed almost complete line-up for the match. And the players returned the favour.

Already in the sixth minute, Benzema got through after a wonderful one-touch combination, but the VAR referees, after a thorough examination, found an offside by Vinícius and the goal was disallowed.

However, they didn’t have to be sorry for long, because in the 11th minute Federico Valverde scored with a beautiful shot from outside the box with a weak left foot.

In the 26th minute, Real Madrid scored their third goal, but the score remained 1-0. David Alaba combined beautifully with two crosses from the left-back into the box and finished to the bar, only for VAR to find another close and highly questionable offside.

In the 61st minute Benzema pushed through again, and yes you guessed right, this time VAR found a millimetre offside as well. Real had already scored four goals, but the score was still 1: 0.

But the fresh Ballon d’Or winner didn’t give up and finally scored in the 75th minute when he collided with Rodryg and finished to the bar. He took the situation in his stride and celebrated the goal by pointing at VAR as referees do.

Marco Asensio added another goal in the 89th minute to give Real Madrid a 3-0 win, although they scored 6 magnificent goals.
