Eden Hazard started the match for Real Madrid for the first time in Spanish League since September but it was not enough for the table-toppers to win the match. Cadiz surprisingly kept Real Madrid strikers at bay in the goalless draw. The La Liga leaders saw their lead being cut short to six points after second-placed Sevilla were victorious against Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

Cadiz snapped Real Madrid’s 10 match winning streak as well, while Carlo Ancelotti dealt with a spate of positive Covid tests before they started their match at Santiago Bernabeu. Madrid controlled possession but could not break down a tenacious Cadiz, and even saw Alvaro Negredo fire wide and lose an easy opportunity to grab the three points.
