Real Madrid Has Achieved Victory Against Villarreal by 2 to 1. The match, which promised to be very challenging for the visitors due to the little rest time they had, turned out perfectly. Mbappé Was the Main Protagonist, brushing excellence and taking advantage of the two chances he had to score the only goals of the afternoon.
The first half didn't start in the best possible way, with Foyth Taking Advantage of Madrid's Poor Defense of a Corner to Open the Scoring. The groguets had several more chances, but they constantly encountered a Huge Courtois who managed to save everything. Fortunately for the whites, they didn't take too long to turn it around.
Mbappé Was Responsible for Turning the Match Around for Real Madrid in Just Six Minutes. The first, to equalize, came in the 17th minute, while the definitive 2 to 1 was in the 23rd minute.
In the second half, Real Madrid Focused on Defending as Much as Possible, Trying to Find the Right Counterattack to Further Extend Their Lead. It wasn't the best possible performance, but in a challenging scenario openly criticized by Florentino, Ancelotti's team managed to secure three points in a very difficult setting.

They didn't stop there on the club's official television before the start of the match, stating: "Madrid Will Not Play a Match Again Without 72 Hours of Rest. LaLiga Conditions the Championship Through the Schedules".
