Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr. Sent Off in Villarreal Clash
In a dramatic La Liga match, Real Madrid secured a 1-0 victory over Villarreal, with Yan Diomande scoring the only goal in the 62nd minute after receiving a pass from Federico Valverde. Real Madrid struggled offensively, with Kylian Mbappe missing key opportunities, and Thibaut Courtois making crucial saves to keep the score level.
Vinicius Jr., who came on as a second-half substitute, had a goal disallowed and received a red card for pulling Nathan Saliba's hair during the buildup. Despite the challenges, Real Madrid claimed three points, placing them third in the league with 18 points from eight matches, six points behind league leaders Barcelona.
Earlier, Barcelona won 3-0 against Getafe, with goals from Anthony Gordon, Gabriel Jesus, and Jules Kounde, marking their best start to a league season since 2013 with eight consecutive wins.
