Real Madrid’s hot streak came to an end with a surprising 2-1 defeat against Osasuna, allowing Barcelona to surge back into contention for the LaLiga title. Despite Vinicius Junior scoring for the third consecutive match, Madrid couldn’t secure the win needed to maintain their narrow lead over Barcelona. The loss now puts pressure on them as Barcelona can move to the top of the table with a win against Levante.

In a match characterized by missed opportunities, Real Madrid conceded a late goal, raising concerns about their defense against a team that has struggled to score this season. Barcelona’s title hopes have revived as they prepare for El Clásico on May 10, and Madrid will need to regroup quickly as they also focus on their upcoming Champions League match against Benfica.

In the backdrop of these developments, Vinicius Junior faced allegations of racial abuse, a situation that complicates manager Alvaro Arbeloa’s efforts to maintain team morale and focus. As they enter a critical phase, Madrid’s road ahead is pivotal for both their domestic and European pursuits.
