Real Madrid moved top of La Liga with an unconvincing 2-0 win against 10-man Real Valladolid on Friday.
Five of those attempts came from at least as close to the goal as the penalty spot, underlining the visitors' late dominance in this match. Compare this with the devastating impact that the injuries to Mesa and Escudero had on Valladolid's performance. A huge miss by the French veteran. Friday's victory over Valladolid was a perfect demonstration of the champions' strength in depth. A full team of seasoned internationals started the match for Madrid, and yet manager Ancelotti was able to call on Rodrygo, Luka Modric, Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga as second-half substitutes. In the furious aftermath, Sergio Leon was sent off.
