Real Madrid returned to winning ways with a commanding 4-0 victory over Osasuna, ending their recent slump despite key injuries to Rodrygo Goes, Éder Militao, and Lucas Vázquez. In a game that saw Vinícius Jr. shine with a hat-trick and Jude Bellingham score his first goal of the season, Real Madrid answered manager Carlo Ancelotti’s call for resilience following disappointing defeats to Barcelona and AC Milan at home.
The match began with Real Madrid displaying determination to reassert their dominance. Vinícius Jr., who led the charge, opened the scoring in the 34th minute with a dazzling solo effort, weaving through Osasuna’s defense before calmly finding the back of the net. Just eight minutes later, Bellingham joined in, scoring his first goal of the season with a confident strike that gave Madrid a comfortable 2-0 lead heading into halftime.
Osasuna struggled to create chances and were unable to muster a response against Real Madrid’s renewed intensity. In the 61st minute, Vinícius Jr. struck again during a swift counterattack. Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin launched a long pass that found Vinícius in stride, and he finished expertly to notch his second goal of the night. The Brazilian’s relentless energy kept the pressure on Osasuna, who were left with no answers.
Eight minutes later, Brahim Díaz orchestrated another promising attack, setting up Vinícius Jr. to complete his second hat-trick of the season. The Bernabéu crowd roared as Vinícius capped off a memorable performance, sealing Real Madrid’s emphatic 4-0 victory and showcasing their attacking prowess.
Ancelotti’s strategic changes paid off as Real Madrid’s attacking lineup produced a dynamic and clinical display. With Rodrygo, Militao, and Vázquez sidelined, the team’s depth was tested, but the spirited performances of Vinícius Jr. and Bellingham offered a glimpse of Madrid’s potential moving forward.
This victory not only marked a much-needed confidence boost for the squad but also signaled Madrid’s determination to stay in contention both in La Liga and the Champions League. With their slump behind them, Real Madrid look ready to maintain momentum, buoyed by their star players stepping up when it matters most.
