FinishedFT: Villarreal 1-1 R Madrid! All over in Villarreal and a draw is fair. Mariano put RM ahead after two minutes and Zidane's men were comfortable, but Emery's men woke up after HT. They had 3-4 clear chances and then finally levelled after 76 minutes through Gerard Moreno from the spot after Courtois fouled Chukwueze.
