Real Madrid continued their perfect start to the season, when they beat Levante 4-1 in La Liga on Tuesday at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia.
Real’s Vinicius Junior opened the scoring just before the half-hour mark, poking an effort from the right into the opposite corner.
A swift counter-attack saw Franco Mastantuono double Los Blancos’ lead before half time, but the hosts did pull one back less than 10 minutes into the second half, thanks to Etta Eyong’s close-range header.
However, a Kylian Mbappe brace shortly after sealed all three points, and Los Blancos took home all three points.
Real are in first place with 18 points from six games – five points ahead of second-placed Barcelona,who have a game on hand today versus Real Oviedo, – while Levante are 16th with four points.
Levante have conceded 13 goals in their six La Liga matches, and they now rank as the division’s second leakiest team, though only three sides have scored more than their 10 goals.
As for Real, the win will be a welcome one considering some supporters feared that their defence would prove costly given left-back Alvaro Carreras started as a centre-back.
Xabi Alonso has overseen seven wins from seven in 2025-26, and he will be delighted by the performance of Vinicius Junior given there had been rumours that the Brazilian was beginning to feel frustrated at the club.
