With a hat-trick from Vinicius Jr., Real Madrid crushes Osasuna 4-0.
Additionally, this was Real Madrid's first league game since they were destroyed by Barcelona two weeks prior, and their match against Valencia was postponed last week because of flash floods in Spain.
After a shocking 1-3 setback to AC Milan in the middle of the week, Real Madrid returned to winning ways on Saturday as they defeated Osasuna 4-0, led by a hat-trick from Vinicius Jr. Additionally, this was Real Madrid's first league game since they were destroyed by Barcelona two weeks prior, and their match against Valencia was postponed last week because of flash floods in Spain. Real Madrid suffered several injuries during the match, including the dismissals of defender Eder Militao, Lucas Vazquez, and Rodrygo, but Vinicius' three goals helped to keep things under control.
The Brazilian forward's fortunes improved after he and his team failed to show up at the awards ceremony after finishing second to Rodri of Manchester City in the Ballon d'Or.
Eight minutes later, Bellingham regained his scoring instincts and scored his first goal of the season, extending Real Madrid's advantage by lobbing the ball over the goalie. Vinicius scored a fantastic goal in the 61st minute after beating Herrera and tapping into the empty net after sprinting on a long throw from his goalie Andriy Lunin. A complete victory was secured eight minutes later when Vinicius scored his second hat-trick in four games after Diaz had taken the ball from a bewildered defender on the box's edge and placed it on a platter.
With eight goals in 12 games, Vinicius is currently six goals behind Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski for second place in La Liga's top scoring competition. Real Madrid moved up to 27 points, six points behind leaders Barcelona. With 21 points, Osasuna is in fifth place.
