Lack of free kicks goals after Ronaldo
(The image shows free kicks for two seasons: 18-19 and 19-20).
MARCA: Since Cristiano left, 51 freekicks have been shot at goal & only 3 of were scored (Bale, Ceballos & Ramos).

Isco’s chance
According to Marca, Isco has his last chance. He is the only midfielder option to Casemiro, Kroos, Modric midfield, as Odegaard signed a loan deal with Arsenal and Valverde is injuried.
Updates ahead of Levante
Carvajal, who would probably return against Levante, has trained inside in the gym again. Further, Vazquez, who played 20 games consecutively didn’t train with the group due to muscle problems. Odriozola will probably start the next game in the right-back position. Ramos also didn’t train with the rest of the group.
Zidane and Nacho continued to be isolated due to Covid-19.
