Not even when has an opportunity of gold in front, the Real Madrid 2017-18 is able to take advantage of it to try approach to the FC Barcelona. The ones of Zinedine Zidane had this Saturday the option of recortar points to the Barça and plant six points underneath of the ones of Ernesto Valverde, after the tie harvested in the Camp Nou against the Celtic of Vigo (2-2).
However, the Real Madrid was not able to take out to relucir the epic that characterised him in other seasons, and in spite of that dominated the game and the possession of the balloon during big part of the party, especially in the first-half, did not know to drill the goal of Kepa Arrizabalaga that kept sober and to a good level against the team that sounds for ficharle in the short term.
Karim Benzema sent a shot to the stick in the first-half and Cristiano Ronaldo another in the second, whereas Sergio Bouquets finish expelled by double yellow card in the minute 87, after having seen the first cardboard in the first act after two actions treaded, when going in too strong in the conflict by balloons divided.
