Villarreal struck first, with Juan Foyth finding the net in the 7th minute. However, Real Madrid responded emphatically, with Kylian Mbappé scoring twice in quick succession—equalizing in the 17th minute and giving his team the lead in the 23rd.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti made strategic lineup decisions, opting for a mixed starting eleven. Notably, Vinícius Júnior began the match on the bench due to recent muscle discomfort, while Fede Valverde received increased playing time.
This win temporarily elevates Real Madrid to the top of the LaLiga standings, pending the outcome of the Atlético Madrid versus FC Barcelona match. The team continues to demonstrate strong form, especially following their recent Champions League advancement.
