In a key La Liga match of Round 22, Real Madrid hosted Rayo Vallecano. The two teams were tied 1-1 after 90 minutes. In stoppage time, Real Madrid were awarded a penalty, which Kylian Mbappé, wearing the number 10 soccer shirt, converted in a last-minute winner. Ultimately, Real Madrid won 2-1, securing their sixth consecutive victory.

In this match, Vinícius scored a stunning long-range strike. Facing three defenders, the Brazilian forcefully broke through and curled a shot into the far corner. After scoring, he kissed the team crest on his Real Madrid jersey, ending his 13-game goal drought. However, Bellingham suffered a serious injury after only 10 minutes on the pitch and is expected to be out for a month, a significant loss for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid have already lost the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey titles. Arbeloa must address the team's "superstar syndrome" and gel the players; otherwise, Real Madrid may end the season empty-handed again.
