Real Madrid returned to form with a decisive win over Osasuna, fueled by a stunning hat-trick from Vinicius Jr.
The Brazilian forward opened the scoring early, cutting in from the left to place a powerful shot past Osasuna’s Sergio Herrera.
Jude Bellingham added to the lead with his season’s first goal, expertly lifting the ball over Herrera after receiving Asencio’s long pass.
Vinicius netted his second an hour in, thanks to a precise ball from goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, before sealing his hat-trick with a third from Brahim Diaz’s assist.
Despite the victory, Real Madrid’s injury woes deepened. Rodrygo left the pitch after 20 minutes, Lucas Vazquez couldn’t continue after halftime, and Eder Militao was stretchered off with a knee injury.
The win places Real six points behind leaders Barcelona, though Barca could widen the gap against Real Sociedad on Sunday.
