Real Madrid defeated Levante 2-0 in a match corresponding to the 20th round of LaLiga. The game took place at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. Levante, the visiting team, is in a difficult fight against relegation and sits in 19th place in the table. The match was tense, especially in the first half, where players struggled to perform and were whistled by fans at the Santiago Bernabéu. The game shifted in the second half, mainly due to the entry of Turkish midfielder Arda Güler, who has become a key piece for Real Madrid in recent months. In the 13th minute of the second half, Kylian Mbappé converted a penalty to open the scoring and begin to lead the 'Merengue' to victory. This was the French forward's 19th goal in the current LaLiga campaign, and all indications are that he will be the 'Pichichi'. Seven minutes later, Real Madrid sealed the match when Güler took a corner kick and Rául Asencio scored a powerful header to make it 2-0. This win allowed Real Madrid to solidify its position in second place in LaLiga, just one point behind the leader Barcelona, although Barcelona has yet to play its match against Real Sociedad on Sunday.
