Real Madrid continued their strong run in LaLiga with a 3-1 victory over Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabéu. The win pushed Real Madrid to the top of the league table, two points ahead of Barcelona.
Vinícius Júnior was the star of the night. He opened the scoring early in the second half with a smart finish inside the box. Later, he doubled the lead after converting a penalty that he had earned himself. Villarreal pulled one back through Georges Mikautadze, but their hopes faded when Santiago Mourino was sent off for a second yellow card.
Kylian Mbappé sealed the result with a calm strike in the 80th minute, confirming another dominant performance for Real Madrid. The team showed full control throughout the match, creating several chances and maintaining solid defensive organization.
Despite the victory, there were some concerns for Real Madrid. Mbappé appeared to be in slight discomfort late in the game and was substituted as a precaution. Dani Carvajal also remains unavailable due to injury, which has left the right-back position a challenge for the team in recent weeks.
Villarreal, meanwhile, struggled to cope with Madrid’s pace and intensity. Their red card proved costly, leaving them exposed at the back. While they managed to score once, they rarely threatened in the second half and failed to stop Madrid’s attacking rhythm.
The win gives Real Madrid an important boost heading into the international break. The team now has momentum and confidence as they continue their push for the LaLiga title. With players like Vinícius and Mbappé in top form, Real Madrid look determined to stay on top.
