Vinicius Strikes Twice as Real Madrid Crush Real Sociedad to Go Top
The Santiago Bernabéu erupted in celebration as Real Madrid delivered a statement win, dismantling Real Sociedad 4–1 and climbing to the top of LaLiga, at least for now. On a night filled with pressure and expectation, Madrid responded with authority, intensity and clinical finishing.
Coming into this match, questions were swirling. Could Madrid cope without Kylian Mbappé in the starting eleven? Would recent inconsistencies return to haunt them? Those doubts were answered quickly. Just four minutes in, Gonzalo announced himself, finishing sharply after a perfectly weighted pass split the defense. It was early control and it set the tone.
But Real Sociedad did not fold immediately. They found a lifeline from the penalty spot through Mikel Oyarzabal after a defensive misjudgment inside the box. For a brief moment, the match felt open again. The visitors had confidence and Madrid’s back line looked vulnerable.
Then Vinicius Junior took over.

The Brazilian winger was electric. Every time he touched the ball, the tempo shifted. His direct runs forced defenders into mistakes and twice he drew penalties with clever movement and fearless dribbling. Twice he stepped up. Twice he scored. Calm, composed, decisive. That brace not only restored control but crushed any hope of a comeback.
In between those moments, Federico Valverde delivered a thunderous strike from distance, a goal that underlined Madrid’s growing belief. It was not just about flair. It was about efficiency. Madrid were not flawless, but they were ruthless.
For Real Sociedad, this was a harsh reality check. They arrived on a strong run of form, yet they struggled defensively and failed to match Madrid’s sharpness in key moments. Defensive errors and hesitation proved costly at this level.
This result carries weight beyond three points. Real Madrid now sit at the summit of the league table, putting pressure on Barcelona and Atlético in a tight title race. Momentum in February can shape the story of May and tonight Madrid reclaimed both their rhythm and the faith of their supporters.
Perhaps most importantly, this was a reminder that even without Mbappé leading the line, this squad has depth, adaptability and star power. Vinicius looks hungry again. Valverde remains relentless. And the Bernabéu feels united.
The title race is far from over, but the message from Madrid is clear. They are not waiting. They are pushing forward.
Stay with us as the LaLiga battle intensifies, because every match from here could redefine the season.
