#4 Injury to Varane and poor display by Ramos
One of the best defenders in the world had a poor night at Municipal de Montilivi stadium. Sergio Ramos had a night to forget and if not for Varane, Girona would have taken the lead in the first half. Though he was good offensively, he let Real under trouble far too many times at the back.
In the 19th minute of the game, Sergio Ramos played a terrible back pass to Kiko Casilla and Real Madrid number keeper had to sprint in off his line to clear the ball with striker Cristhian Stuani lurking. Again in the 67th minute, Ramos was the culprit as he allowed Stuani to make a run and fire a shot. Lucky for Ramos, it goes wide of the far post.
With Varane injured in the first half, Real were exposed at the back. His absence was immediately felt as Nacho let Stuani ease past him to equalize right after the break. Often overshadowed by Ramos, Varane just showed how important he is to the Real side.
