Real Madrid vs Benfica 5-3 - All Goals & Highlights - 2026

The huge flag that you saw draped from the stadium there, the flag of the Comunidad de Valencia, and it also features on the Osasuna armband, our cameras honing in on Vicente Moreno, as I say, a native of Masanasa, who is back there this week trying to help his neighbours, the residents there, dealing with the after-effects of the tragedy. And Ruben Garcia as well, who is also a native of the region of Valencia and was back in his home village as well, helping people. And throughout the game, you'll see the QR code on your screens and you can use that to donate to help the movement on the Real Madrid bench. For Real Madrid. Bellingham. Hendrik. If we have the e-goods... This is a good run from Kylian Mbappe, he goes down, stumbles into the area, the referee's giving a free kick on the edge of the area. That was more like the raging bull, Kylian Mbappe that we... Pepe. Rest of the season, on the games. It will reach Valverde, it's been won back. The cross comes in. And it's a shot in two. The cross for him, comes out to Valverde! Saved by Sergio Herrera, straight to Fran Garcia, who slices his kick. But a lightning counter-attack from Real Madrid and very nearly the fourth. What a ball from Benítez, Up steps, Mbappe. To Vinicius, this surely will be... Vinicius gets his third. Real Madrid get their fourth. Consider a response, he's got a response. It's Real Madrid 4-0. What a... Something that they've been missing the whole season. Pressing high up. They haven't been pressing high up for the whole season. They did it, but they didn't do it in a consistent way. When Real Madrid and the big team are pressing high up, they will always get chances to score. And this time, the press was right. Pressing high up, Havelu, the midfield players, Modric, Camavinga, they are all in the right place in order to win that ball back and score the fourth goal. Great job by Real Madrid, that great job from Vinicius, which is in the long term. This year they didn't get the ball on goal, but I believe that in future we'll get that. Coming on. Zaragoza passed, Vinicius linesman, so Moncayola takes the corner. Real Madrid get it to the left. Chance for Mbappe into the side netting. Feels like it's all that's missing now is Mbappe to score and that will put a smile back on Madrid's face. Injuries apart. He's got Bellingham as an option. Lovely touch, he can shoot, he can score. And out of nowhere, Real Madrid, Brahim Diaf, taking advantage of the flick on. A lovely first touch, kept the ball in his stride and then a very cool finish. And the stalk of Brahim Diaf keeps on rising and rising. His fifth goal of the season, beautifully put away. And it's a two goal cushion for Real Madrid. Obviously, this is the problem against a team like this. Osasuna, they try to be braver, they go up and press. It's a long ball, Valverde wins that duel. This is where you have to win those situations. I think it's Catena who gets there a little bit late. And then Brahim is through on goal. He's got the speed and the power to hold on and then the quality to finish. Right, left, he doesn't really care. Brahim Diaf. This could be the hat trick for Vinicius. Pape into Vinicius, Vinicius drags his shot wide. Plays that one in to learn from Barca fans. Brahim just tricks his way past Moncayola. He's got Hendrik in the middle if he can find it. I'd say it really would be the cherry on... It's the goalkeeper, round the goalkeeper, 3-0. And that is... Vinicius is our most important player. We don't move him from his favourite position. This time, Bellium hugs Lunen because it was his assist. Last time he hugged Asensio because it was his. The rock and roll is back at the Bernabeu. Based on being more clinical in front of the goalkeeper. We've seen three chances, two in the first half where Vinicius scored, Belliaga scored, and a quick transition going forward, thanks to Lunen, brilliant pass. Yeah, and Vinicius, you know, comfortable, has that kind of quality to put the ball in between the defender, otherwise the defender will foul him and he didn't foul him, and he, you know, he drive and he scored comfortable in front of the goalkeeper. Great goal by Real Madrid. Well, we've certainly seen the Ballon d'Or version of Vinicius so far this afternoon. We're from Moncayola and Resson, Resson is left. The cross comes in, Bellium with the cross, takes the corner. Rudiger went down in the area for now, no action taken. Vinicius with a shot over the top, is Rudiger going to protest to the referee? Well, he's looking across at the referee, but the referee has given another corner. Because he didn't score balls... ...finger towards Mbappé. Out comes Lunen... ...from the side to get... ...to Mbappé, Mbappé gets his shot away, but it's comfortably saved by Sergio Herrera. Three games without a goal. Zaragoza with the cross. Cross too close to... In comes the corner... ...another chance to Bellium, and that's an excellent block from Bayamo, who went through on Bellingham, who stays down, Madrid continue. Vinicius, still Vinicius, Ruben Peña trying to get it off him, it runs to Brahim. Good job, the lad. Here's Kylian Mbappé with a shot... ...to Kamerlinga, and over the top. Well, he's not scored for a long, long time, Kamerlinga, March 2022, had a chance there, and he made it because he won the ball. Coming back to Ruben Peña, and Peña behind him. Rodrigo's run onto it, the cross comes in, and it's cleared by Catena. They're in the same place. Let's see if it's Bellium's first goal of the season. There it is! It's in the back of the net. Hey Jude, the look of relief more than celebration, celebrating his teammates. It's been an awful first half in many respects, in terms of injuries, but Real Madrid are 2-0 up here, Bellium has his first goal of the season. Yes, Pete, I mean, this is what a goal from Bellingham. We saw him last year, scoring for Fane, and what a pass from Asensio. We said that, I saw this boy playing for the B team, he's very comfortable with the ball, he's always looking forward, and have a look at this pass. Wonderful pass, no offside, and Bellingham used the calmness in order to put it away from the goalkeeper. You can see his face, that kind of relief, finally I scored my goal. And this is the big difference for Real Madrid, in my opinion, that they create a lot of chances. Vinicius with the cross, but the mere cut's been meant. The shot comes in, and turned brilliantly wide by Herrera. Herrera absolutely furious that Vinicius, I think it was, was able to get that shot off. Alessa with the cross, clears, dinked in, Bellingham almost got his head to that. There are claims, because Militao, we can hear the cries for Militao, and he's holding the back of his right knee. Continues his run, Bellingham tries to pick him. He gets the shot away, kept it low as well, Budimir blocked it, and prevented Bellingham from getting onto it. A few minutes, here is Brat. Vinicius away from Ruben Peña, he stays with him though, Vinicius wants a foul, there was no foul. Into Aymar Orof, who's brought down by... Vinicius again tries to... Vinicius with the outside of his right foot, but can't be taken by Sergio Herrera. This time Real Madrid have done well, Bellingham dropped his... without playing. Peña's in the middle, still Vinicius, goes for goal and scores! And Real Madrid take the lead, and Vinicius gets the goal, it's his sixth of the season, he had Mbappé to maybe pick out, but he didn't think twice. Hits the back of the net, it's Real... Yeah, what a goal. This is what we've been saying, during the... before the show, before the game, that Real Madrid are based many times on their individual inspiration, and now we see Vinicius, they might not have that brilliant passing game, but as soon as they go... that ball in the left foot is offside, they can do that. Well, it's not offside there, because Boyama is the right side of him, so... Yeah, brilliant goal, I mean, Vinicius, you know, has improved,
