Real Madrid defeated Villarreal 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in the eighth round of the Spanish La Liga. The Argentine Franco Mastantuono started in the attack for the Merengue alongside Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius.
Mastantuono came close to scoring twice in the first half. First, he shot at the goal, and defender Renato Veiga cleared the ball. Then, he took a shot that went just inches from the visiting goalkeeper's left post. He received a yellow card at the end of the first half for a hand strike on an opponent while contesting the ball. He was substituted at the 75th minute of the match, when the game was already decided in favor of Real Madrid.
– Vinicius scored two goals, one of them from a penalty. – Kylian Mbappé sealed the actions ten minutes before the end of the match. – Georges Mikautadze scored the consolation goal for Villarreal in the final stretch of the match.
The victory allows Real Madrid to reclaim the top of the standings, although temporarily until Barcelona plays. Xabi Alonso's team overcame the tough 5-2 defeat in the derby against Atlético de Madrid and regained their smile.
