Real Madrid celebrated last night (Friday) a late victory 0:2 over Valladolid with a clutch of Karim Benzema, who returned from the break with the perfect answer to his critics and of course to Didier Deschamps, who removed him from the squad for the World Cup even though he could have participated from the round of 16. The game, like all the Spanish league games, was broadcast on channel ONE for HOT subscribers, yes subscribers, Cellcom TV and Partner TV.

The French striker celebrated his first goal in the game with his hand over his mouth, as if to silence his critics. Despite this, AS criticized: “Benzema did not shine and Courtois’ critical saves brought the points.” In ‘Marca’ it was written: “Courtois and Benzema saved Madrid”.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti Explained his anger at the referee, when he decided not to whistle a penalty in favor of his team despite touching a hand in the box in the first half: “I protested because for me it was a penalty. Kamabinga is an important player for us, who makes the difference when he comes off the bench.”

He is back! Double Benzema in the victory of Valladolid

The coach added: “We had to close this unbeaten year in a good way, we didn’t defend well, that’s true, but we had to win. Benzema has motivation and confidence and I think that from now on we will see a different Benzema. Eden Hazard? He will play in the next game.”

Thibaut Courtois He concluded: “Benzema lacked a bit of rhythm. Last season’s Benzema would have scored a bit more goals, but that’s good for his confidence. We must continue to put pressure on the leader, Karim solved the game for us, we played well.”

On the other hand, Valladolid coach Paceta exploded: “I’m tired, I’m nervous, with all due respect, don’t forget that I pay for the referees’ mistakes and they don’t pay for mine. I finish this game proud of my team. We will come out of this game stronger.”

In the Catalan ‘Sport’ they stung Madrid: “Courtois, Benzema and the usual script. Real suffered, but a VAR penalty turned the game around. Both teams played as if there was no World Cup break.”
