Granotes got their campaign up and running with a 1-1 draw at Cadiz. The result meant that Levante are now winless in their last nine league matches stretching back to last season. 
 
In contrast, Real haven't lost since going down to Levante in January and started their season with a 4-1 thumpining of Alaves. Karim Benzema continued from where he left off in the previous campaign, netting a brace for Los Blancos
 
"We played a game in which the intensity was not good in the first half. Karim's first goal opened the game, but I want to play with intensity with the ball and without the ball," Real manager Carlo Ancelotti said in the aftermath. 

“Benzema completes this team, he reads situations  very well. He is a player who to call a forward seems to be too little for me.

“He is a very complete player and more complete than five years ago," Ancelotti added.
