Real Madrid 3-2 Levante LIVE: LaLiga 2019-20 football as it happened at the Bernabeu

Karim Benzema scored a brace as Real Madrid held on for a nervy 3-2 win over Levante at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.

Benzema put Los Blancos two goals up within 31 minutes in the Spanish capital, and Casemiro's strike five minutes before the interval looked to have wrapped things up by half-time.

However, Levante exposed Real's defensive weaknesses as goals from Borja Mayoral and Gonzalo Melero set up a grandstand finish at the Bernabeu.

Still, Zinedine Zidane's side held on for all three points, with the added bonus of Eden Hazard coming off the bench in the second half for his Real debut.

Prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Levante

Real need a victory to actually climb above Levante, with Paco Lopez's side sitting on six points from three games.

Zidane's men should have enough about them despite a number of injuries, but the Bernabeu is no longer the fortress it once was, and Levante could come up trumps if they exploit Real's midfield.
