Real Madrid took a routine home win in the La Liga series late on Saturday night.
Real Madrid defeated Villarreal 2-0 in the top-of-the-table match of the Spanish football league, and based on the result, they showed that they had recovered from last week’s 1-1 draw derby and the shock loss to Lille in the Champions League.
Federico Valverde completed the opening goal for the hosts in the 14th minute and was about to start of Vinicius Junior a handsome long-range shot that sealed the 2-0 numbers just over a quarter of an hour before the decision.
Was on the sidelines last week due to a muscle problem Kylian Mbappe played the 71st minute in the match. An important full-back Dani Carvajal hurt his leg at the end and was taken off the field on a stretcher. The international break is now ahead, and Real’s next league match is on October 19.
Despite the points pot, Los Blancos’ performance was not the best in A-class. Real’s expected goal in the match was only 0.48 and it only got two shots – albeit with top power – towards the opponent’s goal. Corner kicks were scored for Villarreal 5–2.
With their victory, Real Madrid increased the point difference to Villarreal to four points and rose to 21 points alongside Barcelona, who played less in the match. Barcelona will face the middle class Alaves away on Sunday at 17:15.
