Replays show a tackle on Theo inside the box and it's true that there was a dangling leg for the Real Madrid youngster to fall over. Slightly dramatic, but that could have been a penalty.

It actually looks like Ramos has taken it upon himself to play as a makeshift number nine following the exit of Benzema due to injury. He's been up there for the last few attacks.
36'
This is much better from Real Madrid. They are zipping the passes around the final third and Levante are having a much harder time of keeping tabs of the likes of Asensio and Bale.

There is where the impact of Morata's departure is felt by Real Madrid. They don't have another out and out striker to act as Benzema's deputy. Could that cost them over the season?

Well, Benzema is going to come off here. The French striker has disappeared down the tunnel and a difficult afternoon for Real Madrid is going to get even more difficult. Change needed.

BENZEMA INJURY? The Real Madrid striker is over at the touchline and is receiving some sort of treatment. This could be a concern for Zidane. Might he have to make a change?

Levante are doing a really good job of swarming around the Real Madrid attackers whenever they get it. The home side need to start moving the ball through the midfield quicker.

The home fans are starting to get a bit restless inside the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid are struggling to create anything in the final third. They're getting on th back of Benzema.
26'
Benzema looks to be struggling for sharpness, which is unusual given that he is one of the few Real Madrid player who wasn't involved for his national team over the past week.

The onus is on Asensio to create something for Real Madrid. The youngster has been in exceptional form for the champions early on this season. A lot is expected of him already.

This is where the depth of the Real Madrid squad will be really tested. They have been presented with something of a challenge - do they have the quality to overcome it?

Real Madrid have upped the tempo and intensity of their play since losing that goal. They had been taking things a little too easy in the opening exchanges. They've been jolted into life.
