Real Madrid named a starting line-up without a Spanish footballer for the first time in the club’s history in Saturday’s La Liga defeat at Villarreal.
Yeremy Pino gave the hosts the lead after half-time but a controversial handball call against Juan Foyth allowed Karim Benzema to level from the penalty spot for the visitors. Foyth subsequently won a penalty of his own after David Alaba handled in the area, allowing Villarreal striker Gerard Moreno to net the winner.
It was an entertaining contest which featured 30 shots on target in total and no shortage of contentious points, including each side winning a spot kick. It was Madrid’s second league defeat of the season, as they missed the chance to move top of La Liga.
