Real Madrid returned to winning ways with a convincing 2-0 victory over Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday
Federico Valverde’s deflected long-range strike gave Los Blancos a first-half lead, with Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe causing problems for Villarreal’s defense.
Villarreal pushed for an equalizer, but a marginal offside decision denied them a penalty after Aurelien Tchouameni fouled Thierno Barry.
Vinicius sealed the win with a stunning long-range goal, turning and unleashing a thunderbolt into the top corner, sending the Bernabeu crowd into raptures.
The win keeps Real Madrid second, level on points with Barcelona ahead of their Sunday match against Alaves.
However, the victory was marred by Dani Carvajal’s serious injury in stoppage time, as he was stretchered off in tears after a challenge with Yeremi Pino.
