Overview
- Real Madrid moved two points clear at the summit pending Barcelona’s trip to Girona on Monday.
- Gonzalo Garcia struck after five minutes from an Alexander-Arnold cross, then Oyarzabal leveled from the spot after Huijsen fouled Yangel Herrera.
- Federico Valverde put Madrid back in control with a top-corner finish before Vinicius won and converted two penalties to complete a brace.
- The second penalty followed contact with Aramburu and was upheld without VAR intervention, and a late Vinicius tap-in was ruled offside.
- Álvaro Arbeloa rotated with Mbappe held in reserve and key absences, delivering an eighth straight Liga win and his fifth in five while ending Pellegrino Matarazzo’s Bernabeu streak.
