FOOTBALL – REAL Madrid ended a turbulent week with a 2-0 LaLiga win over lowly Levante yesterday courtesy of second-half goals from Kylian Mbappe and Raul Asencio, after being met with boos from a restless Bernabeu crowd before the breakthrough arrived.
Real stayed second in LaLiga on 48 points from 20 matches, one behind leaders Barcelona, who have a game in hand and visit Real Sociedad today. Levante are 19th with 14 points.
Boos greeted the players at kickoff. Real finally eased the tension when defender Dela tripped Mbappe in the box, and the French forward converted the penalty in the 58th minute to extend his league-leading tally to 19 goals.
Seven minutes later, Real doubled their advantage through centre-back Asencio.
