However, Real Madrid quickly responded as Dani Carvajal equalized, setting the stage for their resurgence.
Vinicius Junior, coming off the bench, assisted Rodrygo for the go-ahead goal before scoring one himself to put Madrid in control. In injury time, Kylian Mbappé added a late penalty to seal the 4-1 victory. Despite Espanyol’s early shock, Real Madrid’s dominance in the latter stages ensured they secured all three points at the Santiago Bernabéu.
