European roundup: Benzema returns Real Madrid to winning wats (The Guardian)

Karim Benzema scored two penalties but missed another as Real Madrid returned to winning ways in La Ligawith a 2-1 win at Celta Vigo on Saturday.

Terrier, who scored his 17th goal of the season, nearly secured victory for Rennes in the closing stages but his effort was saved by Nice goalkeeper Walter Benítez. “I know who is to blame but I will not name them and do you this favour. “The fourth official showed the wrong number,” Nagelsmann told a news conference. Madrid opened a 12-point gap over Sevilla and a 15-point advantage over Barcelona and Atlético Madrid Madrid’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, missed the match after testing positive for Covid this week. The third penalty that set up Benzema’s 70th-minute winner came after a questionable foul when Ferland Mendy stumbled over the leg of Kevin Vázquez. Celta also had a goal waived off in the first half after a video review. I think it was a foul in our favour.”
