Just three days after the shameful final of the Cup against a third division club, Real Madrid reappeared with the starting eleven of the League at the start of the second half, Benzema, Asensio and Hazard formed the offensive three-cushion line. However, important pillars were still missing, including captain Sergio Ramos and Carvajal. In addition, Los Blancos had to do without coach Zinedine Zidane, who tested positive for the corona virus on Friday. For him, assistant David Bettoni was on the sidelines at the Mendizorroza Stadium.
Shortly after Battaglia lost Alavés lead (13th), Benzema had a great opportunity after a fantastic pass from Modrics, but missed first to Pacheco, then to Lejeune and to the post (14th). The next corner from Kroos then found his way into the net for royal leadership through the head of Casemiros (15). Until the half-time whistle, Real put the frustration of the last games out of their minds, first Benzema circled the ball exactly to Kreuzeckl (41st), only a little later Hazard made it 3-0 in stoppage time. Joselu gave the Basques hope with his goal (59th). But Real was stable and Benzema produced the final score of 4; 1 (70º).
