The Uruguayan player cemented Los Blancos' lead during the first half with a stunning finish from outside the box.

Once again, Real Madrid have dominated their bitter rivals and claimed a key win in their quest to win La Liga.

The Spanish giants managed to get a two-goal lead during the first half of the game with goals by Karim Benzema and Federico Valverde. Ferrán Torres brought Real Madrid's lead down to one, but in the dying moments of the game, Rodrygo converted a penalty that sealed the deal for Carlo Ancelotti's men.

It is precisely the second goal by Federico Valverde which has established a new record for Real Madrid, as he has joined one of Los Blancos' legendary players with that strike from outside the box. It had been a while since Valverde's last goal in La Liga, and he chose the best possible scenario to do so.

Following this win, Los Merengues are now the only team in La Liga with an unbeaten record. To make matters worse for Barcelona, this loss saw them slip to second in the title race.
