September 14, afternoon, Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.
In the fourth round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Levante.
The visitors lined up in a 5-4-1 formation, using five defenders against Real Madrid, while Yang Yang deployed an attacking 4-3-3 formation and fielded his strongest lineup.
Courtois was in goal. The back four were Marcelo, Militão, Ramos, and Azpilicueta. Casemiro sat deep in midfield, with David Silva and Toni Kroos farther forward. Hazard, Suarez, and Vázquez formed the Trident.
After the match began, Real Madrid smoothly took control of possession and the game, launching attack after attack at Levante.
In the twenty-fifth minute, a cross came in from the right. Caught between two defenders, Suarez still managed to throw himself forward and power a header into Levante's goal, opening the scoring for Real Madrid.
Just six minutes later, David Silva sent a precise through ball forward. Suarez controlled it and escaped his marker in one fluid motion before driving a left-footed shot into the net, breaking through Levante's defense again.
In the fortieth minute, Real Madrid won the ball and launched a quick counterattack. Hazard delivered a brilliant pass, and Casemiro got his foot to it before the onrushing goalkeeper, once again finding the back of Levante's net. Three-nil!
After the sides switched ends for the second half, Real Madrid soon scored again.
In the fiftieth minute, Toni Kroos sent in a pass. From the edge of the box, Suarez struck a curling shot and completed his hat-trick, finding Levante's goal once more. Four-nil!
Then, in the sixty-second minute, David Silva produced a stunning backheel volleyed pass from the edge of the box. Hazard crossed from the left, and Vázquez calmly tapped the ball in at the far post. Five-nil!
That scoreline held until the final whistle. Real Madrid crushed Levante
