Rafael Benitez laments Real Madrid profligacy after Malaga stalemate

Real Madrid coach Rafael Benitez acknowledges that poor finishing cost the Blancos all three points in the 0-0 draw with Malaga.

Rafael Benitez has lamented poor finishing after his Real Madrid side were held to a 0-0 draw by Malaga at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.

The Blancos managed 31 shots, nine of which were on target, but Benitez's side - who had Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema - failed to find a way past an inspired Carlos Kameni yesterday.

"We created enough chances to score and get a win," the former Liverpool manager told reporters.

"Our opponents always sit very deep, so we will not get many one-on-ones with the goalkeeper. Instead we will have to play one-twos and crosses.

"But I think it is a positive thing that we created so many chances. Actually taking our chances is an area where we will have to improve."

Madrid sit third in the Primera Division, two points behind leaders Villarreal.
