El Clásico was thrashed 4-0 by arch-rivals Barcelona at home at the Santiago Bernabeu. Three days ago, they lost 3-1 to AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League. That too at the Santiago Bernabeu. Finally, Real Madrid forgot the defeat in two consecutive matches and returned to victory.
Carlo Ancelotti's team blew away Osasuna 4-0 in La Liga yesterday. Real suffered a big blow in the 30th minute. Brazilian defender Emil Militao had to leave the field on a stretcher after being seriously injured.
Four minutes later, Vini put Real forward from Jude Bellingham's pass. This is the Brazilian forward's first goal in the league since the Celta Vigo match on October 19. With this, his number of goals in the league this season stood at 6. In the 42nd minute, Militao's replacement Raul Asensio assisted Bellingham to double Real's lead.
Vinny scored his next two goals after the break, in the 61st and 69th minutes. After almost two years, he got a hat trick. His last hat-trick was in La Liga on 12 May 2022, against Levante.
With this win, the last season's champions are second in La Liga this season with 27 points from 12 matches. Barca tops with 33 points.
