Vinícius' Spectacular Hat Trick Lifts Real Madrid Amid Injury Crisis
In a match where Rodrygo Goes, Éder Militao, and Lucas Vázquez all suffered injuries, Real Madrid broke their streak of poor results with a 4-0 victory over Osasuna, featuring Vinícius as the standout with a hat trick and Jude Bellingham scoring his first goal of the season.
The response Carlo Ancelotti had demanded from his players after defeats in El Clásico against Barcelona and against Milan in the Champions League—both at Santiago Bernabéu—came through in a comfortable win over Osasuna. Vinícius opened the scoring with an individual play in the 34th minute, and Bellingham extended the lead to 2-0 before halftime in the 42nd minute.
With no response from Osasuna, Vinícius struck again in the 61st minute on a counterattack, making the most of a long pass from goalkeeper Andriy Lunin. Eight minutes later, Brahim set up the Brazilian to complete his second hat trick of the season.
