Yan Diomande then completed the victory with a stunning volley from outside the penalty area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All three goals arrived during a dominant first-half performance as Jos\u00e9 Mourinho\u2019s team recorded their sixth consecutive victory across all competitions and fourth successive La Liga win. Madrid moved to 27 points, keeping them within three points of leaders Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mbapp\u00e9 Opens the Scoring From the Penalty Spot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Real Madrid immediately took control of possession and began creating opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arda G\u00fcler went close after seven minutes with a first-time effort that narrowly missed the target. Bellingham then forced Racing goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala into a save with a well-directed header.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madrid received an opportunity to open the scoring in the 11th minute when Matteo Prati brought Mbapp\u00e9 down inside the penalty area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The French forward stepped forward and calmly converted the resulting penalty. The goal took Mbapp\u00e9 to 16 goals in 15 appearances across all competitions this season, including 12 in La Liga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Racing attempted to respond immediately, but Thibaut Courtois produced an important save to deny Iker Luque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jude Bellingham Scores 50th Real Madrid Goal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madrid doubled their advantage in the 21st minute following an excellent pass from G\u00fcler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bellingham collected the ball near the halfway line and drove towards the Racing goal. The England international remained composed as Agirrezabala rushed from his line, lifting the ball beyond the goalkeeper before finishing into the empty net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal represented a significant personal milestone for Bellingham\u2014his 50th in a Real Madrid shirt. It also highlighted his ability to influence matches with well-timed forward runs from midfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1923695006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-149x84.png 149w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-299x168.png 299w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-324x182.png 324w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-1067x600.png 1067w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-695x391.png 695w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bellingham almost added another goal later in the match, but his stoppage-time effort was disallowed for offside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yan Diomande Scores Spectacular Volley<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diomande completed Madrid\u2019s impressive first-half display in the 36th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Racing failed to properly clear a corner, and the loose ball dropped towards the edge of the penalty area. The Ivorian winger reacted immediately, producing a powerful right-footed volley that flew into the top corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was an outstanding strike from Diomande, who has now registered four goals and three assists in his last six appearances. His improvement has coincided with Madrid winning all six matches during that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The summer signing is demonstrating why the club invested heavily in his potential. His combination of pace, confidence and ability to score from distance gives Mourinho another dangerous attacking option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Madrid Control the Second Half<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the score already 3-0, Real Madrid controlled the second half without needing to maintain the same attacking intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mbapp\u00e9 nearly scored again after combining with Bellingham, but his curling effort struck the post. G\u00fcler also continued creating opportunities following an excellent midfield performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Racing were initially awarded a penalty in the 71st minute after the ball appeared to strike Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni\u2019s arm. However, the decision was overturned following a VAR review because the ball had deflected off the midfielder\u2019s foot first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madrid protected their clean sheet and completed a comfortable away victory, ending Racing\u2019s unbeaten home record in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real Madrid Extend Winning Run<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The victory was Real Madrid\u2019s sixth in succession across all competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their current sequence includes four consecutive league victories and an important El Cl\u00e1sico win over Barcelona. Mourinho\u2019s team have responded impressively after previously dropping points and are now firmly involved in the title race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madrid have nine wins and two defeats from their opening 11 La Liga matches. They have scored 28 goals and conceded 10, giving them a goal difference of plus 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">La Liga Table After Matchday 11<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.laliga.com\/en-GB\">Barcelona remain top of the table with 30 points<\/a>, followed by Atl\u00e9tico Madrid on 28. Real Madrid are third with 27 points\u2014only three behind the leaders and one behind their city rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"610\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Laliga-stats-1024x610.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1923695003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Laliga-stats-1024x610.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Laliga-stats-300x179.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Laliga-stats-767x457.webp 767w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Laliga-stats-149x89.webp 149w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Laliga-stats-299x178.webp 299w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Laliga-stats-695x414.webp 695w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Laliga-stats-322x192.webp 322w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Laliga-stats-1068x636.webp 1068w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Laliga-stats.webp 1192w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next round could significantly change the title race. Barcelona and Atl\u00e9tico Madrid are scheduled to face each other, while Real Madrid travel to Mestalla to play Valencia. A Madrid victory combined with dropped points for Barcelona could reduce or eliminate the gap at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">La Liga Top-Scorer Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raphinha currently leads the La Liga scoring chart with 15 goals. Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s penalty against Racing took him to 12 league goals, placing him second, while Barcelona\u2019s Lamine Yamal follows with 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scoring race remains closely connected to the title battle. Madrid will need Mbapp\u00e9 to maintain his current form as they attempt to overtake Barcelona and Atl\u00e9tico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Was Real Madrid\u2019s Man of the Match?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bellingham delivered a complete midfield performance and celebrated an important milestone. Mbapp\u00e9 opened the scoring and remained dangerous throughout, while G\u00fcler controlled the creative side of Madrid\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Diomande\u2019s spectacular volley and growing attacking influence made him another strong Man of the Match candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bet on La Liga With Bangbet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La Liga\u2019s title race is becoming increasingly competitive, with Barcelona, Atl\u00e9tico Madrid and Real Madrid separated by only three points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Football fans can visit Bangbet to explore the latest La Liga odds, including match-result, total-goals, correct-score and selected player markets.
