Real Madrid fell to a 1-0 defeat at Levante on Saturday, dropping off the top of the La Liga standings, and their problems deepened as Eden Hazard limped off the pitch four days before their Champions League showdown with Manchester City.

Levante forward José Luis Morales won the game with an unstoppable strike in the 79th minute, flummoxing the Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois by blasting a first-time shot inside the near post from a tight angle.
