First Rodrygo and then Vinícius, the 2 scares that have put Ancelotti on edge

Real Madrid is leading Rayo Vallecano at Santiago Bernabéu by 2-1. Vinícius, one of the most active players in attack, executed a shot from outside the box that hit Batalla's near post. The rebound came out, but Mbappé didn't manage to arrive in time to capitalize on the play.

After Kylian Mbappé's initial goal, Real Madrid gained confidence, which allowed the second goal to come quickly. In a play from the left wing, Vinícius began to challenge Rayo Vallecano's defenders, facing them with his skill.

With several step-overs, he managed to surpass his markers and finally shot in a way that was unstoppable for Batalla. The visiting goalkeeper, who anticipated the ball would go to his far post, saw how the ball slipped through his near post.

Ancelotti, Between Amazement and Fright

A goal that left Ancelotti surprised and the entire Bernabéu in awe at the performance of one of the best players in the world. Vinícius, who hadn't been at his best level in recent League matches, showed himself as one of the most outstanding footballers in the first half of the match.

Afterward, Rayo Vallecano, with a great shot from Pedro Díaz, narrowed the gap in the stoppage time of the first half.

Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti isn't having a completely comfortable match. The Italian has had two scares: one with Vinícius and another with Rodrygo. The Real Madrid coach feared the worst in two actions where both footballers were left in pain.

It is worth remembering that Real Madrid also has its mind set on the Champions League clash at the Metropolitano. Next Wednesday, the Madrid team will visit Atlético de Madrid to try to secure their place in the quarter-finals.
