Real Madrid`s 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano ties them with Barcelona in La Liga standings.

Real Madrid secured a crucial 2-1 victory against Rayo Vallecano, leveling their points with Barcelona at the top of La Liga. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring in the 30th minute, followed by Vinícius Júnior, who dazzled the crowd with a brilliant solo effort just four minutes later. Rayo Vallecano managed to pull one back through Pedro Díaz during first-half stoppage time, but Real Madrid held firm to clinch the win.

The match took place at the iconic Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, where a moment of silence was observed in memory of Barcelona`s late team doctor, Carles Miñarro Garcia. With this victory, Real Madrid now shares 57 points with Barcelona, although they remain second due to the head-to-head tiebreaker. Atletico Madrid is close behind, trailing by just one point after their 2-1 loss to Getafe.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti praised his team`s performance, acknowledging that they could have extended their lead but opted to focus on defense in the second half. This win marks only Real Madrid`s second league victory in their last six matches, setting the stage for a pivotal Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
