Marco Asensio, Karim Benzema fall flat as Real Madrid find no joy in Moscow

Real Madrid failed to trouble the scoreboard for the third game in a row against CSKA Moscow on Tuesday night at the Luzhniki Stadium. The only goal of the match came via Nikola Vlasic in the second minute as Real Madrid tried but failed to break through the home side's rearguard.

Positives

There are none. Real Madrid have gone over 300 minutes without scoring and while they dominated possession, the fact that they couldn't score makes it even worse. They won't play a worse attacking team this season and they still ended up losing as Julen Lopetegui faces into a goalscoring crisis that plenty saw coming without Cristiano Ronaldo.
