Real Madrid secured a commanding 4-1 victory over city rivals Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabéu, moving level on points with La Liga leaders Barcelona. Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a penalty, capitalizing on a foul by Alvaro Carreras. Mbappe doubled Real's lead three minutes later, providing a perfect cross for left-back Jude Bellingham to score.
The English midfielder added the third goal 10 minutes before halftime. Mbappe again came close to scoring in first-half stoppage time, only to see his effort hit the woodwork. Valencia pulled one back early in the second half via Sergio Camello, but Mbappe sealed the win with a dramatic goal in stoppage time, ensuring Real Madrid claimed 14 wins from their last 15 home matches against Vallecano. Barcelona can reclaim a three-point lead over Real if they defeat Levante on Sunday.
