 Real Madrid continued their quest to take the La Liga trophy with a 1-0 win over Granada. Madrid fans were delighted to see Benzema return to his goal-scoring ways , with the only goal of the match. Cristiano Ronaldo, though scoring earlier this week, in the Champions League, was unable to find the net against Granada. Ronaldo needed a hattrick to overtake Raul’s record as Los Blancos topscorer, but was unable to achieve it this week. While the Madrid camp expressed dissatisfaction with the win, they are the only La Liga team this season to have only clean sheets thanks to Keylor Navas.
