Real Madrid secured a hard-fought victory over Rayo Vallecano, but their second-half performance drew frustration from the Bernabeu crowd. After early goals from Mbappé and Vinicius, Ancelotti’s men lost momentum, allowing Rayo back into the game. A long-range strike, initially disallowed but awarded via VAR, cut the lead before halftime. Madrid’s second-half display lacked intensity, with the visitors controlling possession and nearly equalizing. The final whistle was met with loud jeers, signaling the fans’ disappointment.
While Real escaped with a win, Atletico Madrid suffered a crushing defeat in Getafe. Sorloth’s controversial penalty had given Simeone’s side the lead, but a disastrous final stretch saw Correa sent off before Getafe scored twice in quick succession to seal a historic victory. The loss leaves Atletico trailing Real and Barcelona in La Liga and raises concerns ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League showdown.
