Real Madrid moved to a commanding 10-point lead in La Liga after Vinicius Junior’s stunning effort won a 4-2 victory over Osasuna on Saturday.
The Brazilian superstar demonstrated his brilliance with two breathtaking goals, bringing his total to 18 in all competitions this season. Dani Carvajal and Brahim Diaz both made big contributions, scoring in an exciting display organized by Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
Despite missing their leading scorer, Jude Bellingham, due to suspension, Real Madrid barely noticed his absence, as Vinicius stole the show at El Sadar in Pamplona.
Vinicius, whose name had made news earlier this week owing to alleged racist remarks, let his football do the talking. He scored his first goal barely four minutes into the game.
Despite Osasuna’s immediate response through Ante Budimir, Madrid’s resolve remained unwavering. Carvajal restored their lead with a stunning finish, and Diaz and Vinicius increased it with precision strikes.
Vinicius, in particular, was in dazzling form, scoring his second with a lovely touch past Herrera. His tireless attacking skill could have resulted in a hat-trick, but Osasuna’s defence held him back, albeit just barely.
