Real Madrid got their LaLiga title hopes back on track after rallying from behind to defeat Espanyol 3-1 on Saturday afternoon. SLInt MORE:
Los Blancos coach Carlo Ancelotti made three changes from the stalemate against Real Betis, with Karim Benzema, Lucaz Vazquez and Antonio Rudiger dropped out for Luka Modric, Dani Carvajal and Nacho.
Madrid managed to get themselves back on level terms in the 21st minute as Vinicius Junior collected a pass from Toni Kroos before cutting inside and rifling the ball into the top corner. The hosts would go on to complete the turnaround five minutes before the interval, with Eder Militao blasted home from close range after his initial header Aurelien Tchouameni's cross hit the woodwork.
Ancelotti also had one eye on the upcoming UEFA Champions League tie against Liverpool this week, which saw the likes of Modric, Kroos and Tchouameni withdrawn for Marco Asensio, Dani Ceballos and Rudiger on 73 minutes.
