They earned two at Levante on Sunday, in controversial fashion

With the two penalties given to them in the 2-1 win at Levante on Sunday, Real Madrid have been awarded more penalties than any other side this season in La Liga with eight.

They are ahead of Eibar and Barcelona, both on seven, and Real Sociedad, on six.

Iglesias Villanueva, isseud a pen after referring to VAR in the first half for a handball by Enis Bardhi, which Karim Benzema dispatched.

Then after Casemiro dived in the second half he pointed to the spot again, this time not watching a replay on VAR, but he did speak to his colleagues watching the video.

This was a much more controversial call and handed Madrid the win, with Gareth Bale slotting home.
