Incidencias
Alfredo Di Stéfano. A puerta cerrada.
Barcelona started quickly in that game, and Madrid did here, at their Alfredo di Stefano training ground stadium.
Toni Kroos wrapped an effort into the top corner which was the perfect start, and they were three goals to the good by the break.
Sergio Ramos rattled home the second after charging up field and not stopping, while Marcelo Viera smashed in the third before dropping to kneel and salute, his backing of the BLM protests after the murder of George Floyd.
Madrid eased off in the second half, conserving energy for the visit of Valencia on Thursday.
That helped Eibar, who tested Courtois then eventually scored when Pedro Bigas deflected in an Edu Exposito strike.
They weren’t getting more than that, though, and Madrid saw out the game to stay right where they were, on Barca’s tail.
