Real Madrid Survive Late Scare in 2-1 Win Over Alavés to Keep Title Hopes Alive

Real Madrid edged Alavés 2-1 at the Bernabéu as Kylian Mbappé’s first-half strike and Vinícius Júnior’s superb finish gave the champions their lead. A late Toni Martínez goal for Alavés sparked a tense finale, but the visitors’ consolation came too late to deny Carlo Ancelotti’s side victory. The win cuts the gap on league leaders Barcelona to six points with Madrid holding a game in hand. Up next is a trip to face Real Betis, while Alavés sit 17th, just one point above the relegation zone after their spirited performance.
