LaLiga 2024/25 Real Madrid 2-0 Villarreal HIGHLIGHTS

Real Madrid extended their unbeaten run in LaLiga to 41 matches, securing a 2-0 victory over Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabéu in a pivotal match before the international break. Carlo Ancelotti’s side dominated the game, with two impressive goals from outside the box sealing the win.

The breakthrough came in the 15th minute after a well-executed corner-kick routine. Luka Modrić took a short corner, allowing Jude Bellingham to create a clever decoy, leaving Fede Valverde to fire home a powerful strike from distance. The Uruguayan’s shot took a slight deflection off Villarreal’s Álex Baena, wrong-footing goalkeeper Diego Conde and giving Madrid the lead.

In the second half, Vinícius Júnior doubled the lead with a stunning solo effort. In the 70th minute, the Brazilian forward picked up the ball on the edge of the penalty area and curled a right-footed shot into the top corner, leaving Conde with no chance to save.

Despite the win, the match ended on a sour note for Real Madrid, as Dani Carvajal was stretchered off in stoppage time with what appeared to be a serious injury, receiving a standing ovation from the home crowd.

With this win, Real Madrid solidified their position at the top of the LaLiga table, while Villarreal, who entered the match in third place, struggled to create clear opportunities. Madrid’s form remains impressive as they look to carry this momentum through the remainder of the season.
