It’s my time at the Santiago Bernabeu!

Real leads 1-0 thanks to a long shot from Valverde, but Real was seriously manhandled in the game. Villarreal has the weapons to come back in the second half.

The rhythm has fallen

Real rotates in the middle while waiting for the break.

Real took the lead

After half an hour dominated in the game by Villarreal, Carlo Ancelotti’s men now have a little more control.

MBAPPE FACE-A-FACE!

BUT IT CANNOT FINISH! Following a corner from Villarreal, the Frenchman goes on the counter, gives it to Vinicius who then throws it deep. Mbappé arrives in front of Conde but can neither hit nor dribble him correctly, the ball is lost.

One-two Pépé-Baena

It was very well played, but Mendy follows Pépé well and then manages to counter him. But the Ivorian goes quickly and hurts the Madrid defense.

BELLINGHAM !

He is well served near the surface. He tries to roll up but can’t find the frame. It was a good opportunity.

Yellow for Kiko

The Villarreal full-back has not been able to deal with Vinicius for a few minutes. The Brazilian goes to provoke him and causes a foul and a yellow card.

Pépé’s long shot

It’s framed but captured without problem by Lunin.

The festival of Vinicius!

The Brazilian has fun on the left facing two defenders, enters the area but fails to find a partner behind. Immediately, he goes back and tries to strike with the left, without finding the target.

Mbappé countered

Difficult first half hour for him, even at 20 meters he can’t hit.

Real clearly dominated in the game

Apart from Valverde’s goal from a long shot, the Merengues had almost nothing to eat. It is Villarreal who offers more play.

The center towards Barry

He fails to head again, but he gets a corner.

Vinicius misses his shot

It’s completely gone. But Vinicius, too, is transparent in this match.

Mbappé goes for a free kick

It was enough for people to talk about him for him to show himself. But very far from the goal. He has difficulty being found by his partners.

Mbappé transparent for the moment

Apart from an acceleration and a recovery from a corner, we absolutely did not see the Frenchman.

Baena attempts a backheel towards Barry

It doesn’t find the Villarreal striker, but it doesn’t matter much. Baena, in any case, tries things.

BARRY HAS TURN!

New cross from the left, this time it’s Barry who comes to head in but misses the target. It follows on from Real’s goal.

PEPE TOUCHES THE BAR!

On a cross from Baena, the Ivorian places his header at the near post. It bounces off Lunin’s bar before going out. Real are not imperial defensively.

VALVERDE OPENS THE SCORE WITH A DISTANT STRIKE!

WHAT A STRIKE! On a corner, Modric finds Valverde behind. The Uruguayan shoots quickly. His shot is deflected by Baena and deceives the goalkeeper, who can do nothing. 1-0 for Real, on its first opportunity.

Bellingham takes his chances

He had a good hook, but his shot from outside the area was blocked.

PEPE’S RECOVERY!

WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY! Cardona had made the difference in speed on the left, his cross was very good and Pépé, arriving launched, tried to recover with one touch. But it doesn’t fit, too bad.

BAENA MISSES THE FRAME!

It was almost perfect, except for Baena’s conclusion, next. But there was offside on Pépé’s call at the start of the action, no regrets.

Villarreal tries to build

A possession streak lasts a bit. Then a cross from the right forces Lunin to clear his fist.

The recovery of Mbappé!

He is isolated at the far post on the corner. He attempts a difficult recovery of the law, which is not framed.

Mbappé goes for a corner

On the left side, the Frenchman will provoke and accelerate. Kiko tackles well to put in a corner.

Mendy’s breakthrough with the ball at his feet

He then finds Vinicius, but the action does not go any further, Real does not reach the opposing area.
