Real Betis script famous smash and grab at Real Madrid

Los Blancos have won both of their away La Liga fixtures this season, but have already dropped seven points on home soil.

Earlier, Atletico Madrid celebrated being awarded the honor of hosting the Champions League final in 2019 with an impressive 2-1 win at Athletic Bilbao to move up to third.

The host finally started to look the more risky of the teams approaching the half-hour mark, a powerful Ronaldo drive forcing Betis goalkeeper Antonio Adan into a low save.

Antonio Sanabria headed in a dramatic 94th-minute victor for Betis, which was victorious at the Santiago Bernabeu in a league game for the first time since 1998.

Right-back Antonio Barragan floated in an inviting cross at the far-post for Sanabria to head home a late victor and condemn Zidane’s men to their first league loss of what may turn out to be a very long season.

“And when you see that now we only have [Borja] Mayoral that you might think we lack a No 9”. He is very happy as he likes to play, be with his teammates.

Zidane could call upon former Betis midfielder Dani Ceballos, whose only LaLiga action since joining Madrid this season came in a brief cameo appearance off the substitutes bench against Sociedad.

Meanwhile, Betis have begun the season with a few ups and downs as they adjust to the more open style of play of coach Quique Setien. This should be easy going for Real Madrid, despite their recent form, and we should see a few goals.

Zinedine Zidane’s side dominated for large spells, but Cristiano Ronaldo was among the home players to waste chances as Real produced 27 efforts on goal. “For sure he will want to score now all the goals he couldn’t before”.

‘It’s a f****** bad start, ‘ Ramos said after the match.

Real Madrid appear to have a genuine interest in signing RB Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano this winter. “That’s three games at home and we’ve taken two points from nine”. We’ll do our best to win it, and in our next home game in the League, we have to do everything to win it.

“I don’t believe there are reasons to be anxious”, Zidane said.
