Real Madrid cut Barcelona’s lead at the top of LaLiga to six points with a 2-1 win over Alaves.
With Madrid playing prior to Barcelona’s clash with Celta Vigo on Wednesday, Los Blancos had the chance to apply some pressure on the defending champions.
And they made no mistake in snatching the opportunity against their relegation-threatened visitors.
A deflected first-half strike from Kylian Mbappe put Madrid ahead, before Vinicius Junior gave them command by arrowing in a long-range strike.
Alaves received their reward for a spell of late pressure when Toni Martinez halved the deficit in stoppage time, but they remain just a point above the relegation zone in a crowded fight against the drop.
