Real Madrid welcomed Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to secure all three points at home in La Liga. Los Blancos made a decent start to the game and scored the opening goal in the 25th minute thanks to Jude Bellingham’s effort. Rodrygo doubled his team’s advantage just 12 minutes later as Carlo Ancelotti’s side went into the half-time break 2-0 up on the scoreline.
Jose Luis Morales got a goal back for the visitors in the 54th minute. However, Real Madrid responded positively as Brahim Diaz scored in the 64th minute before Luka Modric killed the game when he got his name on the scoresheet just four minutes later.
