Real Madrid beat Deportivo Alavés 2-1 at Santiago Bernabéu with goals from Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior, amid fan discontent and low attendance. Álvaro Arbeloa's side faced whistles from the crowd and Éder Militão's injury, as Alavés pulled one back late through Toni Martínez.
Real Madrid secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Deportivo Alavés in LaLiga EA Sports at Santiago Bernabéu. Kylian Mbappé scored first with a shot from outside the box deflected by a defender, wrong-footing goalkeeper Antonio Sivera. Vinícius Júnior made it 2-0 with a powerful right-foot strike from distance into the base of the post. Toni Martínez pulled one back with a header in added time, but it was too late for the visitors.
The stadium atmosphere was tense, with the season's lowest attendance, about 4,000 fewer fans than the previous poorest crowd. Supporters voiced discontent with whistles aimed at Vinícius Júnior, Camavinga, and at the final whistle, amid a second trophyless season. Álvaro Arbeloa fielded a full-strength lineup, featuring Militão alongside Huijsen, Trent, and Carreras.
Éder Militão suffered a knee injury after a forced shot hit the crossbar and requested a substitution, though initial checks ruled out the worst. Lunin made key saves against Toni Martínez and other Alavés attempts, which showed organization under Quique Sánchez Flores but lacked finishing. The Basque side, one point above relegation, fought until the end.
The win provides temporary relief for Real Madrid, adding three points in their final league stretch without title hopes.
