Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior both found the back of the net from the penalty spot in the second half, as both men gain confidence ahead of the European Week against VfB Stuttgart at the Bernabeu.
After the match, the French striker did not fail to praise the qualities of his Brazilian teammate and admitted to being proud to play alongside him. ” Vinícius is a great player, he does a lot for Real Madrid and I am very happy to play with him. The important thing is not who takes the penalties, the important thing is that all four were scored,” he said in the mixed zone. The message got through.
One point behind Barça
With this victory over Real Sociedad, Real Madrid returns to one point behind FC Barcelona in the standings with 11 points on the clock. But the Catalan club has a game in hand. Hansi Flick’s men face the Girona team this Sunday evening with the aim of regaining distance from their eternal rival.
The Blaugranas are unbeaten since the start of the season and are on a clean sheet with 4 wins in 4 La Liga matches (13 goals scored for 3 goals conceded).
