**Madrid, Spain:** Real Madrid bounced back from recent disappointing performances with a resounding 4-0 victory over Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday. The win sees Carlo Ancelotti’s side cut the gap to league leaders Barcelona to six points, albeit with a game in hand.
The hosts dominated the match from start to finish, with Vinicius Júnior leading the charge. The Brazilian forward bagged a hat-trick, including a stunning goal from a Lunin assist after a Osasuna corner. Jude Bellingham also got in on the act, scoring his first goal of the season with a beautifully-placed lob over the Osasuna goalkeeper.
Real Madrid, who had suffered heavy defeats to Barcelona and AC Milan in their last two games, looked energized and confident from the outset. Despite Osasuna’s impressive early season form, which included a 4-2 win over Barcelona, they were completely overwhelmed by the Madrid side.
“It was important to get back to winning ways,” said Ancelotti after the match. “We played with a lot of intensity and focus, and the players deserved the victory.”
The victory will be a welcome boost for Real Madrid, who are now firmly back in the title race. Meanwhile, Osasuna will be looking to bounce back from this disappointing result and get back on track.
