Ten-man Real Madrid battled to a hard-fought 1-0 victory against relegation-threatened Alavés in a tense La Liga clash on Sunday. The match had it all: stunning goals, controversial red cards, and VAR drama that kept fans on edge!
Midfielder Eduardo Camavinga broke the deadlock with a *chef's kiss* curler from outside the box in the 34th minute . But earlier celebrations were cut short when Raúl Asencio’s header was ruled out after a VAR review showed a tangle of arms and goalkeeper interference.
Then came the real drama: Kylian Mbappé’s reckless tackle on Antonio Blanco earned him a straight red card after VAR upgraded the ref’s initial yellow. Real played most of the match a man down… until Alavés’ Manu Sánchez mirrored the move with a red-card foul on Vinícius Jr., leveling the playing field (literally!).
Despite missing suspended coach Carlo Ancelotti (son Davide stepped up! ), Real held on to stay 4 points behind leaders Barça. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois pulled off clutch saves to keep Alavés at bay, while Jude Bellingham nearly sealed it late.
With Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League loss to Arsenal still fresh, this gutsy win keeps Real’s title hopes alive—but the pressure’s ON!
