Real Madrid continued their perfect start to the season, thrashing Levante 4-1 and extending their winning streak to six LaLiga games. This impressive run marks only the second time since the 1987/88 season that Real Madrid has started a campaign with six consecutive wins.


Despite the eventual outcome, Levante showed promise in the early stages, with Ivan Romero and Adrián de la Fuente both having chances to open the scoring. However, Real Madrid's quality and depth ultimately proved too much for the hosts to handle.


The match was marked by standout performances from Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Junior, who played key roles in Real Madrid's dominant display. Their individual brilliance and chemistry on the pitch were crucial in dismantling Levante's defense and securing a comprehensive victory.


Once Real Madrid found their rhythm, they took control of the match, continually breaking down Levante's defense. Goalkeeper Mathew Ryan made a crucial save on Vinicius Junior's low curling shot, and Franco Mastantuono's follow-up attempt hit the crossbar after being deemed offside initially. However, Real's persistence paid off.


Real Madrid broke Levante's defensive record in the 28th minute when Vinicius Junior scored a stunning goal. Using the outside of his boot, Vinicius guided an inventive strike into the far post, ending Levante's streak of not conceding in the opening 30 minutes of a LaLiga match this season.


Real Madrid doubled their lead just before halftime when Franco Mastantuono scored his first goal for the club. Mastantuono capped off a swift counter-attack, squeezing a near-post shot into the top corner. This goal showcased his skill and precision in front of goal.


Alvaro Carreras almost scored the third goal with a powerful run, but Mathew Ryan made a crucial save on Vinicius Junior's low side-foot finish. This save kept Levante in the game, albeit temporarily.


Levante managed to get back into the contest in the 54th minute. Ivan Romero's shot deflected and looped over Thibaut Courtois, allowing Etta Eyong to tap in his fourth league goal of the season. The goal gave Levante some hope, but Real Madrid's momentum remained strong.




Levante's hopes of a comeback were crushed 10 minutes after Vinicius's goal when Kylian Mbappé scored a Panenka penalty. Mbappé's calm and skillful finish punished Unai Elgezabal's rash challenge, putting Real Madrid firmly in control.


The match was effectively sealed when Mbappé scored his second goal, rounding goalkeeper Mathew Ryan before tucking the ball home. This clinical finish handed Real Madrid an unassailable lead, leaving Levante with little chance of a comeback.


Vinicius Junior had a chance to seal a fifth goal for Real Madrid with a delicate chip in stoppage time, but it wouldn't have changed the outcome. Real Madrid dominated the match, winning 4-1 against Levante at the Ciutat de Valencia.

 



With this win, Real Madrid extends its lead at the top of the LaLiga table, securing a fourth successive away league win for the first time since May 2024. They now have 18 points from six games, five points ahead of second-placed Barcelona.


Levante, on the other hand, is struggling in the league, positioned 16th in the standings. They've had a tough time against Real Madrid at home, winning only one of their last 10 head-to-head matches, with two draws and seven losses.
