Vinicius Junior Scores Hat Trick as Real Madrid Beat Osasuna 4-0
Vinicius Junior stole the show with a magical hat-trick as Real Madrid dominated Osasuna 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Brazilian superstar’s impressive performance helped Los Blancos bounce back from consecutive defeats, but the win came at a cost as they lost Rodrygo, Militao, and Lucas Vazquez to injury, further depleting their already injury-hit squad.
The match started slowly for Real Madrid, but they eventually took the lead in the 34th minute with Vinicius’ first goal. Jude Bellingham doubled their advantage just eight minutes later, and Vinicius went on to score two more goals, completing his hat-trick in style. The victory takes Real Madrid onto 27 points, six points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona.
Match Highlights:
- Vinicius Junior’s Hat-Trick: The Brazilian forward’s impressive goalscoring display was the highlight of the match.
- Jude Bellingham’s Goal: The young midfielder scored Real Madrid’s second goal, doubling their advantage.
- Andriy Lunin’s Assist: The goalkeeper provided a long pass that led to Vinicius’ second goal.
The fans inside the Bernabeu were delighted by Vinicius’ performance, chanting “Balon de Oro, Vinicius Balon de Oro” as he celebrated his third goal. This was a clear reference to the Ballon d’Or standings, where Vinicius finished behind Manchester City midfielder Rodri last month.
Real Madrid’s win was a much-needed boost after back-to-back defeats against Barcelona and AC Milan. With Vinicius in top form, Los Blancos will look to continue their momentum in the league.
