I thought it was a corner but it's only a goal-kick. That's why Rodrygo was booked, for his complaints.

Vinicius Jr
Vinicius Jr is the potential saviour of Real Madrid again. Karim Benzema feeds Vini into the box, he takes the ball in his stride and then clips a lovely shot into the back of the net.
