A goal by Brahim Díaz in the 20th minute of the game, collecting a ball inside the area after a bad clearance by Koke, was enough for the locals to win at half-time at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.

With the tie, Real Madrid reached 58 points, 10 more than the Colchoneros and 8 more than Barcelona, ​​which are fourth and third in LaLiga, respectively.

On the next matchday, Carlo Ancelotti’s men will host Girona on February 10, their main second team, who are barely two points ahead of them.
