Real Madrid's struggle continues in La Liga

Real Madrid was stunned at home by Villareal with a 3–2 scoreline, as the gap in the top two increases

Vinicius gave an early warning sign of his threat, catching Foyth out of position before sending a shot wide of the post. Eventually, Madrid took the lead when they broke down the left due to the run from Asensio who then fed Vinicius. He then smashed the ball into Torres which resulted in an own goal.

Villareal’s goalkeeper then made crucial saves to deny any further lead to Madrid. Chukwueza's constant attacking threat paid off when he received a through ball picked out the bottom left corner to equalize the scoreline.

In the second half, Madrid again took the lead when Vinicius took the ball from Ceballos and finished from close range. Vinicius then missed the chance to extend the lead when he received a through ball from Benzema but he could only pull his shot wide of the near post.

Villareal equalized the scoreline after it was initially ruled out as offside. The VAR corrects the decision. Villareal took the lead for the first time in the game when Chukwueza's brilliant curling effort from the edge of the box put Villareal ahead.
A super exhibition of open attacking football resulted in a five-goal thriller at Bernabeu, where Villareal completed a La Liga double over Real Madrid for the very first time.

Xavi Hernández Creus is a footballer who played for the Catalan club F.C. Barcelona and the Spanish national team for many years and won several major honors with both the sides with being a key element in both. His collection of silverware outshines any modern footballer. Xavi’s midfield dominance was supreme and classy, it looks very simple to naked eye but it wasn’t as simple to do as many players. It was a style which was molded into the Barca youngsters in La Masia and Xavi epitomized it. Vision, Passing, Press-Resistant, Skills, Combine all that and you’d get Xavi. What a joy it was to watch him play.The way he dictated the game was truly remarkable and that 180 degree turn to ward the pressing defenders off.
