1 minute read Sports Desk, Mar 13 (efe-epa).- Karim Benzema scored both goals for Real Madrid as the reigning LaLiga champions edged Elche 2-1 on Saturday to remain in the 2020-2021 title race. The victory lifted the Blancos to second place with 57 points, 5 fewer than leaders Atletico Madrid pending the Colchoneros’ match later Saturday. With a look ahead to next week’s Champions League second leg with Atalanta, Zinedine Zidane ventured to leave Toni Kroos and Luka Modric on the bench at the start of the game against 17th-place Elche even as captain Sergio Ramos after losing two months to injury.
