Vinicius remained Real’s main threat, adding a penalty in the 69th minute after being bundled over in the box by Rafa Marin. He calmly slotted the ball under Tenas to extend the lead.

Real Madrid 3 - 1 Manchester City (Real Madrid won 6-3 on aggregate) This is Real Madrid’s competition. This is their time of year. Author - Beth Lee Stadium - Estadio Santiago Bernabéu The murmurs of admiration that rippled around the stadium as Carlo Ancelotti’s side took control carried a familiar sense of inevitability—one that should serve as a warning to any team hoping to deny them a record-extending 16th European crown. When Real slumped to a 2-0 defeat at Liverpool in November, they looked sluggish and short of ideas—Vinícius Júnior was absent, and Kylian Mbappé was still settling in after his high-profile move to Madrid. Now, Mbappé looks every bit the world-class star they signed him to be. His first goal, a delicate lob over Ederson, oozed composure. His second was pure brilliance, leaving Joško Gvardiol bewildered with a dazzling piece of footwork.

Real Madrid 2 - 1 Mallorca Real Madrid overturned an early deficit to secure their third successive victory at the start of the La Liga season. Author | Jack L Stadium | Santiago Bernabéu The visitors struck first when Vedat Muriqi forced the ball over the line from Pablo Torre ’s corner. Madrid responded quickly as Arda Güler headed in from Dean Huijsen ’s knockdown, before Vinícius Júnior sealed the points with a superb individual finish. Xabi Alonso ’s side saw three further efforts ruled out. Kylian Mbappé twice had goals chalked off for offside, while Güler was denied by a handball decision. Trent back to his best? Trent Alexander-Arnold , deployed on the right of a back four, once again operated in an inverted role at the Bernabéu, drifting centrally and frequently joining attacks rather than playing as a conventional full-back. At 0-0 he produced a superb 50-yard pass from deep inside his own half to pick out Kylian Mbappé, who finished clinically only to see the flag rai...

Real Madrid 2 - 0 Espanyol Real Madrid maintained their flawless start to the La Liga season with a hard-earned victory over Espanyol, making it five wins from five. Author | Jack L Stadium | Santiago Bernabéu Espanyol adopted a compact defensive shape that for long periods frustrated Carlo Ancelotti’s side, restricting their ability to produce the free-flowing football so often associated with them. The breakthrough came courtesy of a spectacular strike from Éder Militão, the Brazilian centre-back unleashing a thunderous 30-yard effort into the top corner after 22 minutes. Espanyol’s resistance was further undone shortly after half-time when a lapse in concentration left Kylian Mbappé unmarked on the edge of the box. The forward, teed up by Vinícius Júnior, made no mistake in drilling home his seventh goal in six games this season. There was also a welcome return for Jude Bellingham. The England midfielder, sidelined since undergoing surgery on a long-standing shoulder problem in ...

Author | Jack L Stadium | Santiago Bernabéu Madrid were dealt an early setback when Trent Alexander-Arnold hobbled off with a suspected hamstring injury inside three minutes. Matters worsened when his replacement, Dani Carvajal , was dismissed 18 minutes from time for a head-to-head confrontation with Marseille goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli. Despite the numerical disadvantage, the 15-time European champions prevailed thanks to Mbappé, who dispatched both spot-kicks with power and precision to take his tally to six goals in five appearances this season. A closer analysis of what happened Marseille had drawn first blood in the 22nd minute through Timothy Weah , whose thunderous effort beat Thibaut Courtois after Mason Greenwood had seized on an error from Arda Güler in midfield. Their advantage was short-lived, ho...

Real Madrid 2 - 1 Barcelona Jude Bellingham delivered a goal and an assist in La Liga for the first time this season as Real Madrid edged past Barcelona in a frantic El Clasico. Author | Jack L Stadium | Santiago Bernabéu Bellingham split Barcelona’s defence with a precise through ball for Kylian Mbappe to open the scoring midway through the first half. Bellingham then restored Madrid’s advantage with a close-range finish five minutes after Fermin Lopez had levelled. It was Bellingham’s fourth goal in five matches against Barcelona, helping Xabi Alonso’s side move five points clear at the top. The contest ended in disorder, with Pedri dismissed and tempers simmering on the sidelines. A closer look at a dramatic night Madrid lost all four meetings with their great rivals last season, but they set about attacking the visitors’ high defensive line from the outset.

Let's explore the new manager of Manchester United Early days in management In 2012, Ten Hag was appointed as manager of Go Ahead Eagles in the Eerste Divisie by Marc Overmars, who was a shareholder of the club. During his only season at Go Ahead Eagles, he managed the team to its first promotion in 17 years. He coached Bayern Munich II from 6 June 2013 until 2015 when he was replaced by Heiko Vogel.
