Ancelotti stressed the importance of maintaining a positive streak and a competitive edge in the build-up to the game, and the team delivered on both counts this evening.

The LaLiga champions put on a show for the home fans, winning 6-0 against Levante thanks to goals from Mendy, Benzema, Rodrygo, and Vini Jr., who scored his first ever madridista hat-trick. Modric contributed three assists in the game, while Benzema surpassed Raul as the second-highest goalscorer in Real Madrid history.
