The game was open until the 70th minute and it could have got difficult.” VAR’s second involvement of the game came in the 26th minute when David Alaba played a wonderful pair of give-and-goes with Toni Kroos and then Benzema before firing past the outstretched leg of Badía. “It was a big game because the level could have dropped a bit after the Clásico,” manager Carlo Ancelotti said after the match. “We have to make the most of this situation. An exasperated Benzema celebrated by mockingly drawing a square with his fingers, imitating the way referees call for VAR reviews. Once again though, the review showed that Carvajal was just slightly offside, leading to some frustrated faces amongst the traveling Madrid faithful.

When you have Camavinga who can come on with a lot of energy in the 70th minute, when you have Tchouameni who can come too, it's something to take into account."

Sevilla are unbeaten so far under returning manager Jorge Sampaoli, but will face arguably the toughest test available on Saturday.

[Sevilla](https://www.football-espana.net/category/la-liga/sevilla) are unbeaten so far under returning manager Jorge Sampaoli, but will face arguably the toughest test available on Saturday. Marcao was injured shortly before the Valencia match but was also removed after muscular discomfort. Following a 1-1 draw against Valencia, Sevilla returned to training on Wednesday without either of their Brazilians.

It goes without saying that Los Blancos are a fantastic team, but they seem to have raised their level further in this campaign. The club are yet to lose a game ...

Thus, it looks like the Spaniard is in Ancelotti’s plans and could receive an unexpected contract extension offer. And it looks like there is still a chance that he could receive a contract extension at Real Madrid. It is clear that Asensio is not a starter for Real Madrid.

2 Los Blancos travel to the Province of Alicante where Elche are their hosts. Meanwhile, Gerard Gumbau and Lucas Boye will return to the team. Tchouameni, who came on for Modric, does brilliantly to hold off two challenges and lays it on a plate for the overlapping Carvajal to slide in a cross. Madrid get the ball rolling and immediately get into their stride. The boss wasn’t keen to talk about players from other teams, instead choosing to showcase the plethora of young talent already playing in Europe’s most successful club. It's been such a disappointing time in Madrid for Eden Hazard since he moved from Chelsea. As I was saying before Alaba put the ball in the net, when Madrid want to, they appear to be able to play through their opponents with relative ease. Straight from kick-off, and an overhit cross from the right is fired back into the middle where Lucas Boye is waiting. It's been a positive second half from the hosts, relatively. Benzema appears to have scored but VAR taking a look... The champions dominated the game throughout and had several chances other than the three efforts ruled out, one by David Alaba and two from Benzema.

However, Real Madrid are no slouch and have made great efforts to engineer a move for Endrick. In addition, Arsenal have built a solid reputation for offering youngsters the opportunity to perform at the highest level. The Gunners already have an excellent record of bringing in Brazilian talents in recent years, with Gabriel Martinelli, for one, enjoying a rapid rise to prominence. In light of his excellent performances in Brazil, Endrick has become one of the top targets for Real Madrid. Incidentally, it was Ancelotti who was the head coach of Real Madrid at the time.
