Villarreal Vs Real Madrid Live Score, La Liga 2025-26: Goalless At The Break Despite Open Play

Plenty of intent, not enough end product. Both teams have tried to keep it open, but clear chances have been at a premium. Madrid just about shade it statistically with more attempts and the only shots on target, while Villarreal have struggled to truly test the keeper. The tempo’s been decent, the structure less so in the final third. Feels like one moment of quality could swing this, second half needs sharper decisions in the box.

That’s Madrid’s best look so far. Mbappé plays a sharp one-two with Vinícius just outside the box on the left and then drives a low effort toward the near post. It’s skidding and awkward, but Júnior reads it well, gets down quickly and gathers at the second attempt. Good move, good save, warning signs for Villarreal.

Bright intent from the hosts. Pedraza’s delivery finds Buchanan in space on the right edge of the box, and Villarreal have numbers arriving. He looks to whip it back across goal first time, but doesn’t catch it cleanly and it sails out for a goal kick.

We’re underway at La Cerámica! Villarreal get us started, knocking it back into their own half as they try to settle early.
