Real Madrid earned a deserved 4-2 win against Espanyol on Sunday night to confirm its gradual return to form after defeating the Real Betis Andalusian in Seville in La Liga and Girona in the quarterfinals of the King's. s Cup.

The team has continued its winning streak and recovery of injured players, where it has recently returned from German Tony Crosse and Marcus Llorente and the Espanyol Welsh Gareth Bell encounter.

But Real Madrid suffered a heavy loss after French defender Rafael Farran and Daniel Carvalgal were sent off for a fifth caution, which meant they were out of Deportivo Alaves in the 22nd round.

Sergio Ramos was also injured in the knee and left the match between the two halves. The team is waiting for medical tests to determine his final fate, although he considers it simply a knee bruise.

Coach Santiago Solari refused to talk about the issue saying, "We have time to think about it."

The main advantage of the win over Espanyol is the level of French striker Karim Benzema, who scored two goals and was leader in the stadium throughout the game.

"I knew that Karim's name meant generosity," said Solari about his striker, "He's generous with his teammates, and that's what he says at every meeting, we have to put him in the frame." and evaluate it. "

Espanyol also had the chance to recover from an injury to Gareth Bell, but it took him three minutes to enter the stadium and score the fourth goal, the 99th goal of his career with Real Madrid.
