IN THE MOMENT OF VINI JR
Real Madrid beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1 this Sunday in the 27th round of the Spanish Championship. At the Santiago Bernabéu, all the goals came in the first half. Carlo Ancelotti’s team opened up a two-goal lead thanks to a great performance by Vinicius Junior. In the 30th minute, the Brazilian first set up Mbappé, who finished with a cross to open the scoring. Four minutes later, Vini scored a great goal, dribbling past three defenders and finishing past the goalkeeper. In injury time, Pedro Díaz reduced the deficit with a beautiful shot from outside the area. In the second half, Real didn’t make any effort and simply controlled the result until the end.
REAL COLA AT BARCA
With the victory, Real Madrid reached 57 points, surpassing Atlético de Madrid (56) and tied on points with leaders Barcelona.
