🚨⚽Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has shared deeply unfortunate news about Vinícius Júnior after he was taken off during the La Liga match against Las Palmas.

Alberto Moliero gave the home team an unexpected lead just five minutes into the match, capitalizing on a smooth pass from Oli McBurnie and finishing with a sweeping strike. This early goal set the stage for a tense and fiercely contested game.

The visitors had their best chance to equalize midway through the first half when Fede Valverde’s powerful free-kick was brilliantly saved by Jasper Cillessen, who played a crucial role in maintaining the home side’s lead.

Cillessen was called into action again shortly before halftime, blocking a driven effort from Antonio Rüdiger as Real Madrid ramped up their pressure in search of an equalizer.

In the second half, both Vinícius Jr. and Rodrygo tested Cillessen early on, but they couldn’t find a way past the Amarillos’ goalkeeper, who remained resolute in goal.

Real Madrid’s aggressive push for a goal left them exposed at the back, and they were nearly punished on a counterattack. Sandro Ramírez rounded Thibaut Courtois but lost his composure, sending his shot over the crossbar when he appeared certain to double the hosts’ lead.

Despite this close call, Real Madrid continued their offensive, and their efforts were rewarded when Álex Suárez handled the ball in the penalty area after a touch by substitute Arda Güler, leading the referee to award a penalty. Vinícius Jr. stepped up and calmly converted, leveling the score and shifting the momentum in Madrid’s favor.

As the match approached its conclusion, Las Palmas thought they had secured a dramatic late winner when Jaime Mata’s powerful shot flew past Courtois into the net, sparking wild celebrations. However, their joy was short-lived as the goal was immediately disallowed for offside, leaving both teams frustrated with the tie.

In the end, the reigning champions avoided defeat but couldn’t secure the much-needed victory. The draw moved them to fourth place, just ahead of city rivals Atlético de Madrid. However, Real Madrid still trails league leaders Barcelona by four points, having won only one of their first three matches, reflecting a mixed start to the season under Carlo Ancelotti with much work remaining to defend their title against tough competition.
