Rodrygo scored both goals and Madrid maintained its comfortable lead at the top after Barcelona had won 1-0 at Las Palmas on Saturday.

Vinicius didn’t play because of a suspension over yellow cards, but Jude Bellingham was back in the squad after missing two league games because of a red-card suspension. The England international set up Rodrygo’s second goal in Madrid’s third straight league win. Rodrygo’s opener came with a beautiful shot into the top corner from just outside the area eight minutes into the match.
