Karim Benzema struck two quick goals to lead Real Madrid to a 2-1 win at Athletic Bilbao in a Spanish league game missing several players because of coronavirus infections. Defending champions Atletico Madrid slumped to a fourth consecutive league defeat after losing 2-1 at Granada, extending their worst run in the competition since Diego Simeone took charge a decade ago. A total of 12 players between Madrid and Bilbao missed the game after testing positive for Covid-19. That included Madrid midfielder Luka Modric and Bilbao’s Unai Simon, the goalkeeper for Spain’s national side. Benzema started the scoring for the league leaders with a superb strike four minutes into the match at San Mames. He struck again in the seventh minute for his league-leading 15th goal of the season.
