Real Madrid could not make seven in seven after drawing with Elche

Everything had been going well for Real Madrid since that win against FC Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. But on the last day of the year(2020), Real Madrid stumbled again. Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Elche before Atletico strengthened their position at the top by beating Getafe 1-0. Atletico Madrid had already done their job in La Liga yesterday. Luis Suarez's only goal helped Diego Simeone win his 500th match for Atletico. Real knew on the field against Elche that there was no alternative to victory. They did not lack that desire in the first half.

Real Madrid pressed Elche from the beginning of the match. The goal was scored in 20 minutes. Marco Asensio bounces back from a distance, shaking the goal bar. Luca Modric was in the right place, wrapped the return ball in the net. Real was playing really well in the first half. Tony Cruz missed a free header before the goal, Marcelo's shot bounced back into the post. Real also got a penalty, but it was canceled after VAR.

But in the second half, Elche tried to get things done. Real Madrid also seems to be a little tired at this time. Elche took that opportunity. Elche got a penalty in the 52nd minute when Dani Carvajal fouled inside the box. However, Real Madrid expressed their objection at the end of the match with the penalty. Fidel Chaves led the team with a goal from the penalty. Real Madrid then tried, but the Elche goalkeeper stood in the way. Carvajal and Ramos's attempts were thwarted. Similarly, Elche also got opportunities, but the post stands in the way. And at the very end of the match, Thibaut Courtois saved a free kick.

Real's six-match winning streak stopped yesterday. After this draw, Real Madrid is second on the point table with 33 points in 16 matches. Their city rivals Atletico Madrid will start the new year with 35 points in 14 matches.
