Real Madrid scores three goals in the second half to secure a massive three points to move ten ahead of Sevilla.
Real Madrid has a ten-point advantage with ten games left this season. Into the 1/4 of the Champions League and currently playing with huge confidence levels.
Real Madrid survived 45 minutes of a physical slugfest to outlast Mallorca on the road, with two goals and an assist from talisman Karim Benzema to win its 20th match of the season and go 10 points clear at the top of the Spanish La Liga table.
Vinicius Junior was also a key contributor, scoring the opening goal and winning the penalty that Benzema eventually deposited for a 2-0 lead.
Despite the three points that pushed the club closer to the La Liga title, it wasn’t all sunshine and roses for Los Blancos, who will be sweating a few key injuries ahead of next weekend’s El Clasico. Most notably, Benzema came limping off a few minutes after his second goal, leaving Carlo Ancelotti with a headache ahead of the season’s marquee matchup.
Still, Madrid will cherish the result that sees them put one hand on the league trophy. A 10 point lead with 10 matches to go seems nearly insurmountable, and the rest of the league will be picking at scraps the rest of the way.
