For the second goal of the match Real Madrid took their lead even further with a goal by Real Madrid starter Vinicius Junior who took on 3 players dribbling them as fans who watched the play called the moment pure “joga bonito.” Carlo Ancelotti was stunned how Vinicius left his opponents running in circles and how he beat the goalkeeper, chipping the ball over him.

Carlo Ancelotti commented in the post interview match, “We’re feeling good because the objective was to get points. Our first half performance could have finished 3-0, but we finished 2-1. It got a bit complicated in the second half. In the second half we had two or three chances. The pass by Mbappé for 3-1 and the ball from Vini. It was 2-1 in the 75th minute and we had to do one thing: defend well and avoid problems. We defended well and avoided problems, but I understand that the fans didn’t enjoy the last part.” Carlo Ancelotti admitted that it wasn’t one of the teams greatest performances, but definitely the win was one of their more important objectives, considering after the 75th minute their only objective was to park the bus and prevent Rayo Vallecano from tying the game or scoring to take the lead.

Real Madrid once again jump back to 2nd place in the league, tied with classic rival Barcelona sitting at 57 points. Barcelona remain in first, considering their goal average is greater in sum than Real Madrid. The league is getting more tense as the season comes to an end, and Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are the only ones competing with Real Madrid for this season’s La Liga title.
