Match Report
Girona have been one of the most emerging teams of this season in La Liga. They were at the top of the table before today’s game. Therefore, Real Madrid had to beat Osasuna today to get back to the top.
Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti set up the team formation with 4-3-1-2, where Vinicius Junior and Joselu played as the front two and Jude Bellingham was just behind them. On the flip, Osasuna boss Bittor Alkiza played his team in a classic 4-3-3 formation.
However, the home side started dominating from the very beginning. It was Jude Bellingham who broke the deadlock for Real Madrid with his beautiful finish in the 9th minute. But Osasuna reacted quickly and didn’t let Madrid’s players create more chances in the first half. As a result, the first half ended with Real Madrid leading the scoreboard with a 1-0 margin.
Coming back from the break, Jude Bellingham scored again! This time, the German international found the net with the help of Federico Valverde. Therefore, Real Madrid had gone 2-0 up in the match at Santiago Bernabeu. In addition, Jude Bellingham got his 8th goal in La Liga with this one and 10th in all competitions.
Real Madrid took full control of the match after having a two-goal lead. The Los Blancos had more than half of the possession against Osasuna and kept creating chances.
The third goal came in the 65th minute when Vinicius Junior found the net with Valverde’s assist. Vini was out of the squad for a long time, but he has been very impactful for Real Madrid after his return.
Following his goal, Vinicius set up another one for Joselu. Joselu’s goal in the 70th minute made the scoreline 4-0 in the match. However, the 33-year-old Spaniard could have completed his brace. In the 83rd minute, Real Madrid had a penalty kick as Osasuna’s winger Kike Barja made a handball inside the box.
As a result, the match referee awarded a penalty kick to Real Madrid and Joselu stepped forward to take this spot kick. Unfortunately, he failed to convert it from the spot kick. But in the end, Real Madrid won with a massive 4-0 margin against Osasuna and have returned to the top of the table.
