Guess who's back? Levante 3 - 3 Real Madrid

Real Madrid and Levante played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in La Liga

The game saw Gareth Bale's first La Liga goal since 2019 and an outfield player end up in goal.

The Wales legend scored from Karim Benzema's pass but Roger Marti levelled 28 seconds after the restart.

 Jose Campana volleyed Levante ahead but Vinicius Jr levelled.

Rober Pier put Levante back into the lead but Vinicius made it 3-3 with a clever finish before Levante goalkeeper Aitor Fernandez was later sent off.

He dashed twenty yards outside his box and handled to stop Rodrygo going past him, with defender Ruben Vezo having to goal for the final few minutes.

Fortunately for Levante, Real Madrid never forced him into a save.

When Bale scored the opener for Real with a clever first-time finish, it looked as if that would be the story of the game. This wasn't to be.

Back in the picture under new manager Carlo Ancelotti. He scored his first La Liga goal since September 2019 and his first for Real Madrid in any competition since January 2020.

For Levante, they would have taken a draw before the game. At full time, there would have been mixture of emotions. Relief they they held on for a point but disappointment that they let the lead slip at a crucial part of the game. 

Next up Real Madrid is a trip to Real Betis. Levante travel to Real Sociedad.

Who won the Transfer Window?

The transfer window is closed until January 1st.  Who had the best window though? Were there any major losers? Manchester United United strengthened their defence with the signing of Varane and brought some extra quality with the signings of Jadon Sancho and the returning hero Cristiano Ronaldo.
