The standings for LaLiga EA Sports 2025/26 once again feature Real Madrid in first place. On Saturday, Xabi Alonso's team returned to winning ways in the tournament with a home victory against Villarreal (3-1), thanks to goals from Vinicius Jr. (brace) and Kylian Mbappé.
The match ended goalless in the first half, but began to tilt in favor of the 'merengue' side in the 49th minute. A shot by Vini, breaking through on the left, deflected off Comesaña to surprise Arnau Tenas. Later, in the 70th minute, the Brazilian extended the lead by scoring a penalty that he himself had provoked.
Villarreal pulled one back in the 73rd minute with a great goal from Georges Mikautadze, but the sending off of Santiago Mouriño in the 77th minute left the 'Yellow Submarine' very exposed at the back. In the 80th minute, Mbappé sealed the match after a good one-two with Brahim Díaz.
