Real Madrid ended their LaLiga match against Villarreal with a 1‑0 victory, thanks to Diomande's first goal in the 63rd minute. The result allowed the Spanish club to remain at the top of the table, while Villarreal remains at the rear and will have to face Napoli in the Champions League.
The match was characterized by an episode of madness which saw the Real coach, José Mourinho, running onto the pitch to embrace Vinicius after his goal in the 70th minute. However, VAR found that the Brazilian had pulled Saliba's hair while receiving the ball, which is why the goal was disallowed and Vinicius received the red card. Vinicius' hesitation was evident, but Real still resisted and ended the match with the victory.
Diomande scored his first goal for Madrid, proving to be a key element for Mourinho's team. The goal gave Madrid a lead that they maintained until the end, despite Villarreal's defeat in the final part of the match. The Spanish club's defeat left Villarreal with just 8 points from 7 games, placing them in eighth place in the table.
In the LaLiga table, Barcelona is in first place with 24 points, followed by Atletico Madrid with 19 and Real Madrid with 18. Real Madrid has therefore maintained its position at the top of the table, while Villarreal remains in a lower position. Mourinho's team will have to continue working to consolidate their position in the table and prepare for the upcoming Champions League matches.
Real Madrid's next match is scheduled for October 11, when they will face Elche, while Villarreal will have to prepare for their first Champions League match against Napoli. Madrid's victory strengthened its position in the table, but Mourinho's team will have to continue working to maintain its position at the top of the table.
