Especially the midfield that has been the limelight of the club throughout the season failed to influence the game according to its standards.
Jude Bellingham who is usually at his best whenever he plays, had a contrasting match which saw him being sloppy with the ball and lacking the cutting edge.
Kylian Mbappe scored in the 30th minute
Kylian Mbappe scored in the 30th minute with a curling shot from the left side as he got lucky that the ball shimmied off the defender and fell into his path. 4 minutes later, Vinicius Jr. ran down the left wing and was back to his best as he sent the defender the other way and finished with a deflection from the defender.
It looked like an easy game for Madrid who were looking lethal on counters with the pace of Vinicius and Mbappe but Rayo scored one back just before the break through Pedro Diaz.
After the break Mbappe had a chance to kill the game but he could only manage to find the outside of the net. After this attempt Rayo Vallecano grew into the game and started to find a lot more of the ball.
There weren’t many chances created by the Vallecano players but they kept hold of the ball which did not make it easy for Carlo Ancelotti.
