Real Madrid beat Espanyol 2-0 on Sunday, with Vinicius Junior scoring twice to keep the La Liga title race tight. The result means Barcelona’s wait for the league title continues ahead of next week’s El Clasico. Multiple reports say Vinicius’s goals came in quick succession, with one source noting he scored twice within an 11-minute spell, and another describing the brace as decisive for Madrid’s control of the match. The win keeps Madrid mathematically in contention for the title, preventing Barcelona from clinching the championship with immediate celebrations. Although the sources agree on the scoreline and the decisive contribution from Vinicius, they frame the broader context through Barcelona’s remaining fixtures: the league-leading position and the possibility of wrapping up the title are delayed, with focus shifting to the upcoming high-profile meeting between the two Spanish giants. Overall, the articles present the same core outcome—Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Espanyol—and the same competitive implication—Barcelona must wait longer for the title with El Clasico still to come.
