In a gameweek where Barcelona did not play and Atletico Madrid were beaten, Real Madrid triumphed with victory over Rayo Vallecano. Two goals in the first half from Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr created sufficient cushion for Real Madrid and despite Pedro Diaz's strike before half-time to halve the deficit, Los Blancos had done enough to clinch maximum points. The 2-1 victory helped Real Madrid climb to 57 points, level with eternal rivals Barcelona. However, Real Madrid have now played a game more as tragedy in the Blaugrana camp caused their match for the game week to be postponed. The victory against Rayo Vallecano follows a shocking defeat for Atletico Madrid to Getafe, which ensures Los Blancos are the only team in the title race to collect points this week.
