Player ratings as Mbappe & Vini Jr fire hosts above Atletico


Real Madrid moved to points with Barcelona at the head of the La Liga after he had overcome an energetic Rayo Vallecano with 2-1 in the Santiago Bernabeu.

It was a less convincing exhibition by Carlo Ancelotti’s side that, despite the upcoming return of her Champions League round with 16 ties with the neighborhood rival Atletico Madrid, distinguished a number of big starters.

After the current owners of La Liga had stirred the post over Vinicius Junior early on, they found the breakthrough with the kind permission of Kylian Mbappes 18th goal of the season. The Frenchman was lively with his movement on the shoulder of Florian Lejeune and, after some sophisticated footwork, allowed him to switch back on his preferred right, and loaded a little effort into the back corner of Augusto Batalla’s goal.

Vinicius did not want to be exceeded by his superstar teammate and achieved a wonderful individual for Madrid.

Pedro Diaz collected a sensational answer to Rayo before the interval and shot a shot into the underside of Andriy Lunin’s crossbar, and Madrid let her level drop when Rayo heard and harmed her.

Mbappe and Vinicius both had achieved in the second half – the latter owe that they missed Luka Modric from six meters, but they have enough to switch to points with Barcelona and over the rival Atletico that slipped against Getafe on Sunday against Getafe.
