Finished
FT: 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. The last 15 minutes were very open and Kubo could have even won it for Villarreal at the death.
