Pamplona, Spain – Real Madrid put on a masterclass in attacking football, dismantling Osasuna 4-2 at the El Sadar on Saturday. Vinicius Jr. stole the show with a dazzling brace, while Federico Valverde orchestrated the demolition with a virtuoso performance of three assists.

Los Blancos wasted no time asserting their dominance. Vinicius Jr. pounced on a loose ball in just the 4th minute, showcasing his blistering pace as he cut inside and curled a sumptuous finish into the far corner.

However, Osasuna refused to be overawed. Three minutes later, the masked marksman Ante Budimir nodded home an equalizer, capitalizing on a swift counterattack.

Unfazed by the setback, Real Madrid roared back. Dani Carvajal, who received Valverde’s inch-perfect cross, restored the lead with a delightful outside-of-the-boot flick in the 18th minute.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men controlled the tempo, stifling Osasuna’s attacks. The second half was a display of clinical finishing. Brahim Diaz, expertly guided by another pinpoint Valverde delivery, finished calmly past the goalkeeper in the 61st minute.

Vinicius Jr. still needed to be finished. The Brazilian maestro completed his double with a moment of pure artistry in the 72nd minute. Once again, Valverde provided a delightful pass, and Vinicius Jr. displayed sublime technique with a delicate flick that looped over the keeper.

While Lucas Vasquez’s strike was chalked off for offside, and Iker Munoz pulled one back for Osasuna late on, it was merely a consolation. Real Madrid cruised to a convincing victory, extending their lead atop La Liga and underlining their status as the team to beat. This victory further cements their position at the top and puts them in a solid position to clinch the title.
