Real Madrid edge Alavés 1–0 as La Liga title hopes fade

Tuesday, 21 April 2026, 20:15 · 1 min read

Real Madrid (the Spanish capital's dominant football club) are narrowly leading Deportivo Alavés 1–0 at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium in Madrid, with Kylian Mbappé converting a deflected effort assisted by Arda Güler to give the hosts a slender advantage. The result matters little in the title race, however, as Real trail league leaders Barcelona by nine points, leaving them dependent on a near-impossible turnaround. The match has also been marked by sections of the home crowd whistling at both Mbappé and Vinícius Junior whenever they touch the ball, reflecting broader frustration with the team's inconsistency throughout the season.
