Iran Press/ Europe: Real Madrid went 10 points clear at the top of La Liga with ten games to play, but there was a downside to another convincing performance as three key players picked up injuries ahead of Sunday’s Clasico.
Karim Benzema, Rodrygo Goes, and Ferland Mendy all hobbled away from the 3-0 win over Mallorca to sour what had been another sparkling performance.
Benzema teed up the first for Vinicius after good work from Fede Valverde on 55 minutes. And it was Vinicius who then helped his strike partner onto the scoresheet with the second. He was pushed in the back by Brian Olivan and Benzema scored from the penalty spot.
Benzema got the third goal eight minutes from time when Marcelo, on as a substitute, floated in a cross and he headed home to make it 3-0.
