JOIN USReal Madrid moved back to within five points of La Liga leaders Barcelona with a hassle free 3-0 victory over Eibar on Sunday.
Madrid have struggled at the Santiago Bernabeu this season, dropping points in four of their previous six home games.
However, Eibar did most of the damage for them as Paulo Oliveira’s own goal and a goalkeeping mistake from Marko Dmitrovic to allow Marco Asensio’s shot through his grasp handed the European champions a 2-0 half-time lead.
Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to pick up FIFA’s ‘The Best’ award in London for his goals in helping Real land a Champions League and La Liga double for the first time in 59 years earlier in the year.
Yet, the Portuguese’s off colour La Liga form this season continued as it was Asensio who shone as his partner up front with Karim Benzema rested.
Zidane had the luxury of bringing Benzema and Marcelo off the bench in the second half.
And they combined to round off the scoring as Marcelo drilled the Frenchman’s pass into the bottom corner eight minutes from time.
