To update
Final whistle at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium, mandatory task accomplished! After a slow and extremely tired first half, Los Blancos now hold all three points in Madrid at the end of the day. While the rotation players were unable to use their chance in principle, the game statistic changed after taking Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos suddenly. The fact that top scorer Karim Benzema was once again a veteran responsible for important goals underscores why Zidane increasingly relies on the same players. With the victory, Los Blancos were able to put at least a little pressure on their city rivals and FC Barcelona before starting their own preparation for the second leg against Atalanta.
90. +1 REAL MADRID GOOOOOOOOOOOOL! AMAZING! Benzema receives the ball after a fantastic double with Rodrygo and hits the leather with a left foot to the left corner. Dream door!
89. Next great opportunity: Nacho is released centrally on the edge of the penalty area, Badia abrr can not come back.
87. Once again fresh forces on the part of the guests: they replace Josema and Diego González Raúl Guti and Fidel.
83. Casemiro again! Nacho abruptly crosses the leather on the left side in front of Elche’s suitcase and finds Casemiro, whose header passes just over the crossbar. Little by little the meringues are running out of time …
80. It is remarkable how the lot has changed with the inclusion of Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos have changed. The attacks of the third in the table now seem noticeably more determined, although the second blow has not yet come.
78. Good opportunity for Real! After a remarkable combination on the assets of Benzema and Rodrygo, Casemiro comes to a conclusion in a central position behind the edge of the penalty area, but is deformed.
75. More changes on both sides: With the hosts, Eden Hazard returns and replaces Vinícius Júnior. On the Elche side, Mfulu and Josan come for Boyé and Tete Morente.
73. GOOOOOOOOOL OF REAL MADRID! After a short corner kick Modric the ball, whose precise flank finds Benzema’s head, which evens the gap. The royal family has just under 20 minutes.
71. Rodrygo’s great cross – Casemiro missed the second post.
64. The deficit is doubly bitter from the point of view of the Real: the hosts came out of the booth with much more determination and could or should have been sanctioned with a penalty. Now last year’s champions need two goals if they don’t want to fall far behind in the title fight.
62. Zinédine Zidane reacts immediately with several changes: Luka Modrić, Toni Kroos and Rodrygo Goes replace Ramos, Isco and Valverde.
61st goal for the moose! The guests go ahead after a corner kick. In the center, Varane loses his head to Dani Calvo and the ball hits the whites’ goal. Casemiro calls for a free kick, which he rightly doesn’t get.
58. Suddenly, Courtois is focused: the goalkeeper saves the hosts from being left behind with a strong save. With the second ball, the referee team decides to be offside and makes a mistake again.
54. Controversial scene in the penalty area: After a cross from Isco, Marcone does the textile test on Ramos’ shirt and holds the captain’s arm. There could or should have been penalties here – instead, the referee decides Jorge Figueroa Vazquez to the incomprehension of the Real in free kick for Elche.
49. After a corner kick, the ball goes to Karim Benzema, who works the leather with excellent technique and places it right next to the post with a spinning shot.
46. And on: moose clinking glasses. The meringues play unchanged from left to right.
HALFTIME! One is almost inclined to say: Finally. In a tiring match, Real started out dominant, but from the 15th minute on there was no determination or speed on the pitch. The most prominent were Vinícius and Valverde. Although Vinícius always offered depth, Valverde radiated dynamism and creativity, at least in his approach. If the champions do not want to end the title fight, Zidane’s protégés must urgently achieve more clarity and above all speed in their own actions against a harmless rival.
Four. Five. A touch of danger: Valverde plays the ball roughly from the right to the center. There, however, neither Isco nor Vinícius Júnior can direct the leather towards the goal.
39. Dangerous center from the right half of Elches. At the far post, Vázquez cannot clear optimally, so goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has to use his whole body to clear.
36. First game change: Barragán, obviously injured, has to leave the field and is in the pass Miguel Ángel Garrido Cifuentes ersetzt.
3. 4. Best attack of the whites: After a corner from Elche, Valverde Vinícius Júnior clears on the right. He plays the technically not completely clean leather from the edge of the penalty area to Karim Benzema in the middle, whose shot whizzes through the gate in the lower left.

30. With beautiful early spring weather, there’s probably a lot in the air right now – a goal (sadly) instead of no ..
27. Finally, a shot of goal: Mendy hits the ball from the left on Isco, who simply holds from about 25 meters. However, the conclusion of the Spanish is not a problem for Badia in the guest goal.
22. Where is the key against the compact moose defense? Real have a lot of possession, but lack rhythm and moments of surprise. If the hosts get behind the invited defense, the royals have so far lost their rhythm and the necessary consistency.
19. Promising first chance for the hosts: Elches Barragán appears to have suffered a muscle injury trying to clear it. Fede Valverde receives the leather approximately at the height of the edge of the penalty area – but his conclusion clearly goes beyond the lower left of the guest door.
17. Guests from Alicante province have been relatively relaxed thus far to see what the real team is getting on the field without really getting into trouble. However, for their part, they have yet to come up with a dangerous deal.
12. The meringues are optically clearly superior so far – The hosts have yet to create a clear opportunity.
8. What the lineup suggested is now a reality on the field as well: Los Blancos start with a chain of three and five respectively. Isco has all the freedom in the center.
two. First attack of the whites: Valverde plays the ball from the right to the center, where Isco fails.
1. Start at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium. Real starts blank from right to left.

Four changes compared to the Derby – PHOTO: REAL TOTAL
Conclution: Zidane surprised! Sergio Ramos returns as expected, but Nacho Fernández remains on the field. It could also be a 3-5-2 (offensive) or a 5-3-2 (defensive) with Lucas Vázquez and Ferland Mendy on the outside. It is also surprising: not only Luka Modrić, but also Toni Kroos and Marco Asensio are taking a break, a clear sign of the Champions League! However, should things go wrong against Elche, Zidane would still have many options on the bench, including returned Eden Hazard.
POSITIVE BALANCE SHEET: So far there have been 43 clashes between the two traditional Spanish clubs, with 27 victories the balance is clearly in favor of Real Madrid. While ten games ended in a draw, Elche took six triples. none of them in Madrid. Goal balance: 109: 39 from the Madrid perspective.
PERSONAL: Good news in the Los Blancos field: with Eden Hazard and Sergio Ramos, two key players return to coach Zinédine Zidane’s squad. Daniel Carvajal, Mariano Díaz and Álvaro Odriozola, however, are not available and Marcelo is also not available after problems in final training. Therefore, it is quite possible that “Zizou” will make changes in some positions compared to the derby in view of the next leg of the Champions League against Atalanta Bergamo: in addition to captain Ramos, Federico Valverde could also be rewarded with a starting eleven after some short and promising appearances.
Starting at 4.15 pm: Real want to recover from the self-confidence of Ramos and Hazard CL. keep reading
HELLO AND WELCOME! Six days after the derby draw against Atlético and three days before the important second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Atalanta, the Whites today have an equally important league task on the agenda: FC Elche is a boy from the basement of the League at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium as a guest. Although the ‘Franjiverdes’, currently seventeenth in the table with 24 points and therefore barely in the non-relegation zone, have not won ten straight LaLiga games, last week the team of new coach Fran Escribá surprised (two wins, two defeats) but with a 2-1 home win over Sevilla FC. Therefore, whites must be warned; Nonetheless, the opportunity to present Atlético de la Ciudad and Barcelona’s archrival in the title fight and to keep the pressure on the top duo high should be sufficient motivation to tackle Elche’s task with the necessary seriousness.
