Real Madrid\u00a0are not letting up in their battle for the\u00a0LaLiga\u00a0title. Our team secured their fifth consecutive league victory at the Estadio de la Cer\u00e1mica thanks to a brace from\u00a0Mbapp\u00e9, who has now scored 34 goals this season, and finish the day top of the table. The first goal came early in the second half and the second came in added time from a penalty that he himself won.\u00a0Arbeloa’s side were solid and dug deep to secure a hard-fought win away to Villarreal.<\/p>\n
The first half was very fast-paced, although the dangerous moments\u00a0took a while to arrive.\u00a0Arda G\u00fcler\u00a0tried his luck with a right-footed shot inside the area after a nice individual move in the 20th minute, and seven minutes later,\u00a0Mbapp\u00e9\u00a0tried his luck from the edge of the area, but a well-positioned J\u00fanior R. prevented both shots from finding the net.\u00a0Vini Jr.\u00a0had a much clearer chance in the 40th minute after another recovery in the opposition’s half. The Brazilian’s left-footed shot fizzed across goal and missed the target by inches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Real Madrid\u00a0are not letting up in their battle for the\u00a0LaLiga\u00a0title.
