Real Madrid rebounded from its first loss in nearly 10 months by beating Villarreal 2-0 at the possible cost of right back Dani Carvajal in La Liga on Saturday. Federico Valverde and Vinícius Júnior scored for the defending champions four days after they lost at Lille 1-0 in the Champions League to halt a 36-game unbeaten streak in all competitions.

Federico Valverde scored with a shot from outside the penalty area early in the match, and Vinicius Jr. added another in the 73rd minute after receiving a pass from Valverde, securing the win for Carlo Ancelotti's side with their only two shots on target.
