Real Madrid's tenth win of the season against Osasuna was their eighth in LaLiga. Our team put in a great performance at the Bernabéu, which was delighted with the four goals scored by Ancelotti's side. Bellingham, the league’s top scorer with eight goals, scored two of them, while Vini Jr. and Joselu scored the other two. Valverde also had a great game, providing assists for the second and third goals. Real Madrid go into the international break as leaders in both LaLiga and Group C of the Champions League.
 
Our team found the net early on. Less than ten minutes in, Modrić spotted Carvajal's run, who with his back to play turned the ball back towards Bellingham, who controlled with his right foot and powerfully slotted home with his left. Madrid were in total control of the game. They won the ball back quickly and were hardly troubled in their own area. They even had the chance to widen the gap in the 24th minute. Valverde stole in midfield, dribbled past Catena and gave the ball to Vini Jr. but the Brazilian's shot went high. Osasuna's response was slow in coming, but they did so twice, with Moncayola's shot from the edge of the area missing the target by inches in the 42nd minute and, in stoppage time, Budimir's shot from the penalty spot went just over.

The second half started like the first, with Bellingham scoring after nine minutes. The Englishman combined with Valverde this time, who returned the one-two, and finished with a shot that went through S. Herrera's legs. A brace for the Brit, who increases his goalscoring figures and consolidates his position as top scorer in the championship. He has already scored ten goals this season, eight of them in LaLiga. As the minutes ticked by, Valverde also provided the assist for the third goal of the match. The Uruguayan, this time in the 65th minute, spotted Vini Jr.'s run and laid on the Brazilian, who beat the visiting goalkeeper with a fine cut-back before slotting home with a delightful finish.

Goal and assist for Vini Jr.
The Brazilian found the back of the net for the second game in a row, but he also put his stamp on our team's fourth goal. He controlled a long pass from Tchouameni with his back to him in the 69th minute, held the ball up until he saw Joselu's arrival to set up the Spaniard. The Spanish international thanked him by beating S. Herrera in the one-on-one. The fifth could even have come in the 84th minute. Kroos' powerful left-footed shot from the edge of the area hit David García's right hand. Joselu took the penalty, but the goalkeeper saved his spot-kick to deny a fifth for Real Madrid, who go into the international break as LaLiga leaders.
