Real Madrid Squeezes Out Another Three Points

The bout went on for quite some time -- longer than most anticipated -- but, eventually, the favorite prevailed.

Real Madrid found themselves in a tough spot but somehow came out winners with a tight 1-2 result in Las Palmas.

The domestic struggle for Real Madrid continues, and it doesn't look pretty. While Barcelona has no problem logging more than five goals a game, it's becoming more and more difficult for Real to keep pace.

Real's rock wall, Sergio Ramos, came crashing down like the Walls of Jericho to get the match’s first goal:

Captains always come to the rescue.

Then, in the 87th minute, Los Amarillos claimed the most deft of equalizers as Willian José presented his version of a Sergio Garcia wedge shot:

Such are the goals that haunt these Castilians.

Full marks to keeping their composure, though, as it only took two minutes for Casemiro to retaliate:

The never-say-die spirit lives on.
