Real Madrid suffered another setback in the La Liga title race on Saturday, losing 1-0 to Levante eight days before a crucial El Clasico meeting with Barcelona.

Jose Luis Morales scored after 79 minutes just the hosts' second shot on target. To make matters worse, Los Blancos also lost Eden Hazard, who limped off with an ankle injury in the 67th minute.

Los Blancos drew with Celta Vigo in their previous outing and are now two points behind Barcelona after they beat Eibar 5-0 earlier in the day.
