Real Madrid won their fourth straight match in La Liga with a 3-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday. The win was a dominant display by Los Blancos, who controlled the game from start to finish.
The highlight of the match came in the 65th minute when Christian Benteke scored his first goal for Athletic Bilbao since joining the club from Aston Villa in January. However, the Spanish champions were not finished and responded with a brace from Vinicius Jr. in the second half.
Vinicius' second goal came just five minutes after Benteke's header had given Athletic Bilbao hope. He scored with a powerful strike that left goalkeeper Unai Simon helpless.
Real Madrid's third goal came in the 77th minute when Karim Benzema found space on the right wing and curled a shot past Simon into the top corner. The Frenchman has been in excellent form this season and has been a key player in Los Blancos' success so far.
With their 3-0 victory, Real Madrid moved up to fifth place in the league table, three points behind Atletico Madrid in fourth. They have now won four consecutive matches and are looking strong ahead of the upcoming international break.
Overall, it was another impressive performance from Real Madrid as they showed why they are considered one of the best teams in Europe. With the likes of Benteke, Vinicius, and Benzema all contributing, it will be interesting to see how Los Blancos continue to perform in the coming weeks.
