Vinicius Jr Saturday handed Real Madrid a boost after being hammered by Barcelona in a league Clasico and then outplayed by AC Milan in the Champions League.
Real Madrid bounced back with a 4-0 thrashing of Osasuna with Vinicius scoring three while Jude Bellingham scored his first goal of the season for Los Blancos. It was another bad day in the office for superstar striker Kylian Mbappe failed to find the net again and has scored one goal in his last seven matches.
Second-placed Madrid reigned in Barcelona’s lead at the top of La Liga to six points before the Catalans visit Real Sociedad on Sunday.
“We won by a margin, we had a complete game in terms of work and effort, looking out for our team-mates, so I’m happy for the win that we needed,” Madrid attacker Brahim Diaz told Real Madrid TV.
“Madrid always have to win and we’d suffered two consecutive defeats…
“The fans deserved a victory, we can still give more, we are an incredible team.”
