Real Madrid Back to Winning Ways with 4-0 Demolition of Osasuna

794

Real Madrid bounced back from consecutive home defeats to European rivals with a resounding 4-0 victory over Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabéu.

The win was a much-needed boost for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, who were under pressure to deliver a convincing performance.

Vinicius Junior was the highlight of the match, scoring a hat-trick to lead Real Madrid to victory.

PersecondNews reports that the Brazilian winger opened the scoring with a trademark cut-in and finished in the bottom left corner.

He added his second goal with a cool finish, and then completed his hattrick with a strike set up by Brahim D’az.

Real Madrid dominated the match from start to finish, with half chances from Rodrygo Goes and Kylian Mbappé setting the tone early on.

Jude Bellingham ended his personal goal drought with a beautifully lifted finish over the keeper, courtesy of a long ball from Raúl Asencio, who replaced the injured Éder Militão.

Carlo Ancelotti’s starting lineup changes paid dividends, with Eduardo Camavinga joining Jude Bellingham and Fede Valverde in midfield.

Fran Gárcia started at left-back, while Lucas Vázquez captained the team.

The introduction of Brahim Díaz and Dani Ceballos from the bench also added fresh impetus to the team.

The convincing win comes as a relief for Real Madrid, who were under intense pressure following consecutive home defeats.

The victory marks a return to winning ways and will boost confidence ahead of upcoming challenges.

With Vinícius Junior in scintillating form, Real Madrid will look to build momentum and consolidate their position in the league.
