Saturday 17-01-2026
Real Madrid managed to secure three valuable points after defeating Levante 2-0 in the match held at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium as part of the 20th round of the Spanish League.

With this victory, Real Madrid raised their tally to 48 points, occupying second place in the standings, temporarily reducing the gap to just one point behind the leader Barcelona, who will play tomorrow against Sociedad, while Levante remained at 14 points in 19th place.

Real Madrid did not deliver the expected performance in the first half, struggling against Levante's defensive discipline, while the Royal team players faced intense whistles of disapproval from the fans. The team created only one real chance through Mbappe, who shot wide of the goal.

In the second half, the team's performance improved with the entry of Arda Guler and Mastantuno, before Real Madrid scored the opening goal in the 58th minute through Kylian Mbappe, who took and successfully converted a penalty kick he earned himself into the net.

Only a few minutes later, Real Madrid doubled the score, with Raul Asensio scoring the second goal in the 65th minute, capitalizing on a precise cross from a corner kick taken by Arda Guler, which he headed into the goal.
