Real Madrid's 2–1 victory over Rayo Vallecano puts the defending Spanish champions back atop the La Liga standings with Barcelona.
After a poor defeat against Real Betis last weekend, Real Madrid came into their fixture against Rayo Vallecano needing a major bounce back. Los Blancos started out the match slow, but a brilliant individual goal from Kylian Mbappé gave the hosts the lead in the 30th minute. Mbappé got on the end of a ball from Vinícius Júnior, cut inside onto his right foot and sent a low strike into the back of the net.
