OZIL ANGRY AT SUBSTITUTION

Manchester United target Mesut Ozil stormed off down the tunnel after being substituted during Real's 1-0 win at Granada, fuelling rumours his Madrid career may well be over.
The German international was replaced by young Brazilian Casemiro in the second half and has been linked with a move out of Spain.
Ozil could be surplus to requirements once Gareth Bale completes his move to the Santiago Bernabeu, and United was mooted as a potential destination earlier in the summer.

Defender Sergio Ramos, back to his normal, darker roots, having dyed his hair bleach blonde this summer, went close on 55 minutes with a downward header but Granada keeper Fernandez got down quickly to gather the ball under pressure from Benzema who was ready and waiting to pounce on any loose ball.
Former Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric was brought down in the box but saw his appeals for a penalty turned down while Isco saw an effort palmed onto the post in the 62nd minute.
Granada finished strongly with several chances in the final minutes and also had their own penalty appeal waved away by the referee in the closing stages.
Despite late pressure from the home side, Ronaldo went close to doubling Madrid’s advantage with five minutes to go. Leaving three men in his wake after good work down the left the Portugal international skewed his shot wide and watched it skim the side netting.

Italian Madrid boss Ancelotti has much to mull over before Athletic Bilbao visit the Bernabeu on Sunday with Ozil and Casillas both far from happy at their current plights.
The victory puts Real on six points, level with champions Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Bilbao and Villarreal.
Barca, 1-0 winners at Malaga on Sunday, top the standings on goal difference, with Real in fifth.
