Real Madrid Dominance on First Half
Real Madrid was heading toward a victory with a 4-1 lead at the half of the match. Manchester United were last winners in 2016/ 17 and players like Arda Guler, Lucas Vazquez, and Brahim Diaz are all in tremendous shape under Carlo Ancelotti’s leadership. Madrid’s starting eleven including Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, and Toni Kroos on the bench appeared to be loaded enough to give the Yellow Submarine an easy time getting a victory.
Sorloth's Unstoppable Performance
But that was not to be as Sorloth had other ideas. His desire started manifesting when he connected well with an outstanding cross from Yerson Mosquera and volleyed the ball with so much power into the net to cut the gap to 4-2. He proceeded to rain goals on the Thais in the second half opening scoring in the second half in less than five minutes completing his hat trick in the 52 min bringing the gap to 4-3. Only four minutes later, Villarreal swiftly countered and Sorloth sealed the deal by shooting the ball past the goalkeeper for his fourth goal of the match, making it 3-3. This brilliant and unexpected comeback not only shocked Real Madrid but also helped Sorloth to see himself as one of the main candidates for the La Liga top scorer award.
Madrid's Defensive Collapse
Sorloth went on a rampage in the second half and Madrid’s defense which appeared formidable in the first half was rendered vulnerable. The collapse from the injury-enforced absence of Dani Ceballos and defensive mistakes from Eder Militao provided Villarreal with the platform for their remarkable comeback.
Positives for Real Madrid

Arda Guler remained in his top performance condition, scoring two more goals and bringing the total to six from the last seven matches. This outstanding show of goals is a major boost for Guler as she struggled with injuries in the beginning of the season. Vazquez also did a tremendous job recording a goal and two assists whereas Brahim Diaz further proved his worth as a playmaker having provided two assists. Joselu also netted a goal which means the Madrid has a rich reserves of strikers.
