Real Madrid claimed a comfortable win at home to Osasuna, but the victory came at a cost
LaLiga giants Real Madrid earned a dominant 4-0 win over Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabeu thanks to a superb hat-trick from Vinicius Junior, but suffered numerous injuries that could hamper their bid to defend their league and Champions League crowns.
Real Madrid has Ballon d'Or runner-up Vinicius to thank for their victory over Osasuna as the Brazilian star hit a superb hat-trick in the 4-0 win with Los Blancos' other goal coming from Englishman Jude Bellingham.
The goal against Osasuna was the Englishman's first goal of the current campaign in all competitions and ended a barren run of 179 since he last found the back of the net for Real Madrid.
Despite, the win, the match against Osasuna left a bitter taste in the mouths of Real Madrid fans as the club suffered the loss of three key players who were forced off with injuries.
Brazilian youngster Rodrygo Goes, who just returned from a spell on the sidelines was taken off early, followed by compatriot Eder Militao, who had to be stretchered off, all before half-time.
Versatile veteran Lucas Vasquez was the final victim of Real Madrid's injury curse, as the Spanish star was forced off late in the game.
