Real Madrid suffer triple injury blow; Militão tears ACL

The final whistle sounds in the Spanish capital as Real Madrid end the afternoon as consummate 4-0 victors against a smothered Osasuna side. Vinicius was the main star of the show with three goals, yet his supporting cast was still extensive as Los Blancos made a team competing for Europe look like relegation battlers. The hosts were hit with a troublesome pair of injuries to Rodryo and Militao, yet worked well with determined replacements. Vinicius bagged his first goal in the 34th minute, as he beat the offside murmurs to drive and fire from the left at Herrera's near post after a fine Bellingham pass. Eight minutes later, Militao's replacement Asencio pinged a pass over the Osasuna masses to find Bellingham through on goal to lob Herrera. The scoring continued as Real caught the visitors out just after the hour mark. Lunin's claim and long ball forward from a corner saw Vinicius speed away from his marker before rounding Herrera to tap home. His hat-trick was sealed just eight minutes later after Diaz robbed the ball from Osasuna's sloppy attempt to play out from the back. He squared for Vinicius who did the rest - slotting past Herrera and a red shirt flailing on the line. Real Madrid continue in second after this game, which saw them exceed their 2.91 xG comfortably. At the moment, 0.05 xG Osasuna stay in fifth, but Athletic Bilbao are yet to play today. Thanks for joining us, goodbye!
