Real Madrid : Sørloth absolutely smashed it with four goals in just 17 minutes against Real Madrid in European football! Breaking News

Sørloth and Real Madrid

Villarreal’s Alexander Sørloth netted four goals within 17 minutes, securing a 4-4 draw against Real Madrid and claiming the top spot in La Liga’s scoring rankings.

Carlo Ancelotti’s team, who were crowned champions two weeks ago, had the chance to achieve 99 points this season, just one short of their record in 2011-12. However, they will now miss out on that milestone as they currently have 94 points before their last league match against Real Betis.

Ancelotti made it clear that the main goal was not to earn points, but to showcase a good game with rhythm and intensity, all while preventing injuries. He was content with how everything unfolded, even though they allowed more goals than desired. As they prepare for the Champions League final, he remains confident and pleased with the team’s attacking display.

In the 14th minute, Real Madrid made their mark on the scoreboard. Arda Guler, the talented Turkish youngster, found the back of the net with a precise shot after receiving a pass from Brahim Díaz. Not long after, Joselu added to their lead with a header from up close. Real Madrid was off to a flying start in the first half!

Villarreal’s Sørloth found the back of the net with a strong header in the 39th minute, but Real’s Lucas Vázquez responded immediately to restore their two-goal lead. Guler then added another goal to make it 4-1 right before halftime. Despite the deficit, Villarreal mounted a comeback in the second half, with Sørloth scoring three goals in a span of eight minutes between the 48th and 56th, taking his tally to 23 league goals this season.

Despite securing a point, Villarreal’s hopes of European football next season are dashed as they are currently in eighth place with 52 points, four points behind Betis in the Europa Conference League position. Gerard Moreno, the Villarreal forward, was satisfied with the match, particularly the second half. He expressed their ambition to qualify for Europe next year and commended his teammate Sørloth, wishing him to become the top scorer.

In their final home game of the season, Barcelona secured second place in La Liga by defeating Rayo Vallecano 3-0. Robert Lewandowski netted an early goal, while Pedri scored a quick double. The first goal was scored in the third minute after Lamine Yamal set up Lewandowski for a chest control and volley.

Despite Rayo’s chances to level the score, Barcelona increased their lead with a display of magic from João Félix. Although Félix’s shot was stopped, Pedri was able to find the back of the net on the rebound, securing a two-goal lead for the home team. Just a few minutes later, Pedri exploited a gap in Rayo’s defense and scored his second goal of the season with a precise pass from Ronald Araujo.

With this win, Barcelona reached 82 points, giving them a four-point lead over Girona, who triumphed 3-1 over Valencia.

Osasuna’s Raúl García was the hero of the match, scoring in both halves to lead his team to a historic 4-1 win over Atlético Madrid, marking their first victory at the Wanda Metropolitano since 2009. The first goal was netted in the 26th minute when Alejandro Catena assisted García with a header in the box. The visitors doubled their advantage in the 52nd minute as a rebound off Atlético’s keeper, Jan Oblak, fell to Aimar Oroz for a simple finish.

In a swift response, Atlético managed to equalize just three minutes later as Álvaro Morata capitalized on Ángel Correa’s well-placed cross. However, Osasuna quickly regained their two-goal advantage in the 64th minute courtesy of García’s goal. The victory was ultimately sealed by Lucas Torró, who hammered the ball home with his right foot in the 88th minute.

In other news, Real Sociedad secured the final Europa League spot by defeating Betis 2-0. On the other hand, Cádiz’s hopes were dashed as they were relegated after a goalless draw against Las Palmas. This means they will be joining Granada and Almería in the second tier.

In his last game as Feyenoord’s manager, Arne Slot was met with a heartwarming gesture from both his old and new team’s fans. Banners adorned with the phrase “walk on, walk on” – a line from their anthem – were proudly displayed, symbolizing the unity between the supporters.
