The outcome solidifies Madrid’s potentially pivotal 11-point advantage over Barcelona at the summit of LaLiga, with only six matches left in the season.

Vinicius Jr leveled the score 12 minutes later from the penalty spot, following a foul on Lucas Vazquez inside the box.
Real Madrid, despite dominating the second half, squandered numerous opportunities and conceded the lead once more in the 69th minute, as substitute Fermin Lopez capitalized on a rebound to give the visitors the advantage.
However, Real Madrid would mount a second comeback, with Vazquez smashing in a volley just four minutes later.
Real Madrid continued to press for another goal, and their persistence was rewarded in added time when Vazquez sprinted down the right flank and delivered a cross to Bellingham, who fired in the winning goal, igniting jubilant celebrations at the Bernabeu.
