It was an end-to-end battle right from the start with both sides testing each other at either end of the pitch but it was Villarreal who had the upper hand.

The visitors stood strong, limiting the influences of Madrid’s in-form attack while forcing smart defensive work from David Alaba and Thibaut Courtois at the other end.

Despite having a boost in midfield with the return of Luka Modric and Casemiro, the duo had little impact on the game for Los Blancos.

Deadlocked at the break, the match continued to be a nervy affair as a very organized Villarreal frustrated the hosts.

Substitutes Eduardo Camavinga and Eden Hazard added a bit of spark into Carlo Ancelotti’s side but couldn’t do enough to turn things in their favour.

In the end, the match finished 0-0 and the visitors earned a well-deserved point away from home.
