Real Madrid star player Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring just 22 minutes into the match thanks to an assist from Jude Bellingham, but Fermin Lopez quickly equalised, assisted by Marcus Rashford.
However, the hosts retook the lead shortly before half-time as Bellingham scored the winner, sealing the three points for Real Madrid.

After the full-time whistle Vinicius, who was visibly angry when Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso took him off in the 72nd minute, began arguing Yamal as the pair approached the tunnel.
Eventually, the discussion became so heard that security had to hold the Brazilian back as he launched as he tired to make his way towards the Barcelona star.
But it wasn't just post-match that the pair clashed, as earlier in the game Vinicius could be heard telling his rival: "You only pass backwards.”
And Vinicius Jr wasn't the only Real Madrid player who confronted the Barcelona star after the match, as Dani Carvajal was also seen approaching Yamal following the whistle.
According to Spanish outlet Marca, the veteran defender was planning on ‘confronting’ his national teammate, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that he told the 18-year-old "You speak too much. Speak now”.
