The Whites have dominated the opening stages at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium against their city neighbors, with Karim Benzema missing two brilliant early chances to open the scoring, before Casemiro’s header.
The former French international forced a brilliant save from Jan Oblak in the 11th minute as the Slovenian stopper kicked the post.

He then came within inches of finding the net less than a minute later, but couldn’t get a clean connection in the center of Dani Carvajal’s deep post.
Real Madrid have an excellent La Liga record at home against Diego Simeone’s team with a four-game unbeaten streak dating back to 2016.
