MADRID, May 14, 2026 — Real Madrid moved one step closer to the La Liga title with a professional, if not entirely explosive, 2-0 victory over a resilient Real Oviedo at the Santiago Bernabéu on Thursday night. A first-half strike from Gonzalo García and a late Jude Bellingham effort secured the three points in a match where Los Blancos’ dominance in possession ultimately told.
The scoreline suggests a routine home win, but Carlo Ancelotti’s side had to be patient against a well-drilled Oviedo outfit. The visitors set up to frustrate, but their resistance was broken just before the interval through a moment of quality from academy product G. Garcia, who found the net in the 44th minute to give Madrid a deserved 1-0 lead at the break.
The first half was a tale of Real Madrid control without a cutting edge, as the home side monopolized possession and territory. The match was effectively put to bed in the 80th minute when England superstar Jude Bellingham fired home to make it 2-0. The goal, a clinical finish, was a fitting reward for a display of physical dominance from the hosts, who had kept Oviedo largely pinned in their own half.
