Real Madrid beat Granada to go level with leaders Atletico 2 minutes read Madrid, Dec 23 (efe-epa).- It wasn’t pretty, but Real Madrid prevailed 2-0 here Wednesday against Granada to go level on points with first-place Atletico Madrid as LaLiga enters the Christmas break. While the defending champion Blancos and their cross-town rivals are both on 32 points, the Colchoneros have a better goal difference as well as two games in hand. With the exception of starting Fede Valverde in place of the injured Luka Modric, Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane stuck with essentially the same lineup he picked for the four previous matches and the hosts showed signs of suffering from tired legs.
