MOURINHO'S REAL MADRID HEALS WOUNDS: 4 GOALS TO RAYO

In the 5th week of the Spanish La Liga, Real Madrid, managed by Jose Mourinho, hosted Beñat San José's Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabeu. Wanting to heal the wounds of last week's surprise Real Betis defeat, the Whites put on a show in front of their fans, leaving the pitch with a clear 4-1 victory. Starting the match like a storm, Real Madrid took a 1-0 lead in the 14th minute when Kylian Mbappe successfully converted a penalty. Just three minutes after this goal, Carreras took the stage in the 17th minute, doubling the gap with a wonderful assist from Mbappe. Increasing their pressure, Mourinho's students entered the locker room with a very comfortable 3-0 scoreline thanks to Jude Bellingham's stylish goal from Vinicius Junior's pass in the 35th minute. Taking the game slower in the second half, Real Madrid saw Rayo Vallecano find some hope with Camello's goal in the 51st minute, but this goal remained merely a consolation. In the final moments of the match, meeting a fantastic pass from Turkish national player Arda Güler who was subbed in, Kylian Mbappe scored his second and his team's fourth goal in the 90+1st minute, setting the final score to 4-1. Following this dominant victory, Real Madrid increased their points to 12 at the end of 5 weeks, maintaining their strong claim in the championship race. Beñat San José's team, Rayo Vallecano, remained at only 4 points, unable to escape the lower ranks.
