Karim Benzema in the legend with Raul, a 6-0 victory over Levante: Real Madrid’s great evening

Real Madrid had absolutely no mercy on La Liga Matchday 36. While Levante, his opponent, was still fighting for his survival in the elite, the Spanish champion won by putting the way, at home (6-0). Many Merengue took part in the celebration, from Luka Modric, decisive triple passer, to Vinicius, author of a hat-trick. But we will especially remember le 323e but de Karim Benzema under the colors of Madrid, which puts him up to Raul, another legend of the club. With a fortnight before the most important game of the season, confidence is at maximum level.

There was no match. Levante, however, needed at least one point to still believe in the maintenance. The red lantern of the classification did not fold against a Real Madrid team with a serenity to send shivers down your spine, especially for those who live in Liverpool. Determined to prepare for the Champions League final as well as possible, the Merengue recited their ranges without ever being worried.

We could even say that they wandered around, chaining clear chances until they quickly bent Daniel Cardenas, who did what he could. The Levante goalkeeper went for the ball in the back of his net for the first time after the opener signed Ferland Mendy (1-0, 13th). The rest will have been a long ordeal, and a slow agony.

The demonstration, while waiting for the shock

While Federico Valverde had barely touched the post on a cross from Luka Modric (16th), Karim Benzema marked the history of his club a little more with a perfect header, receiving a cross from Vinicius (2-0, 19th). First ahead of a pass from Benzema (30th), Rodrygo scored his team’s third goal thanks to a caviar from Modric (3-0, 34th). Never satisfied in this part, the people of Madrid increased the bill a little more before the break, thanks to Vinicius, put in excellent dispositions after a one-two with Modric, again him (4-0, 45th).

Benzema already crowned? “Salah and Mané will experience a fatal dispersion of voices”

With their crestfallen faces, the Levante players were only waiting for one thing: the end of the match. The second act did not sound any revolt, and Real Madrid were in total control against an opponent who simply could not return the blows. Vinicius took advantage of this stranglehold to perfect his statistics, by offering himself a hat-trick which will do him good before the big meeting.

For the manita, he was served on a plate by Benzema, who had fun dribbling the goalkeeper for him (5-0, 68th). And he still had the juice to accelerate between two defenders and deceive Cardenas one last time with a cross strike (6-0, 83rd). This wide success unfortunately sends Levante to the second division. It serves above all as a signal for Liverpool, who will cross swords with a Real Madrid very sure of its offensive strength for a few weeks.
