Real Madrid won’t get many easier rides than that this season. Dominant from start to finish, Real Madrid finished off Levante with two first half goals from Karim Benzema and Ricard Carvalho as the away side pretty much forgot to turn up. Benzemas opener was courtesy of a stunning run into the area, slicing his way through three or four Levante defenders, before sliding the ball across for Benzema to tap in.

Madrids second was also a tap in, as Ricardo Carvalho found himself completely unmraked, a metre out, after Cristiano Ronaldo had fired a free-kick across goal from the byline. As much as Real Madrid then dominated the match, they were ultimately unable to find a third, as they found the Levante keeper Munua in inspired form. It looked as if Real Madrid had given the scoreline a more realistic look in the final minute, when Adebayor slammed in , but Ronaldo had been flagged offside just before.
But all that will matter to Jose Mourinho are those three precious points that lift Real Madrid to within two points of Barcelona. And the Catalans have hardly got the most easy of matches tomorrow night as they host the battling Athletic Bilbao. It looks like we have a two-horse race once more in La Liga.
