La Liga: Mbappe's Brace Take Real Madrid On Top; Osasuna End Away Jinx

By IANS News January 25, 2026 • 09:20 AM View: 936

Athletic Club Bilbao: Real Madrid moved to the top of La Liga with a 2-0 away win over third-placed Villarreal.

Kylian Mbappe scored both goals in the second half, opening the scoring after Villarreal failed to deal with a cross from Vinicius Jr. before converting a penalty deep into stoppage time after being fouled.

The first half failed to live up to expectations, but Real Madrid was the better side as Villarreal once again struggled against one of Spain's "big three" (Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona).
