Villarreal players were able to put a lot of pressure on Real Madrid in this match. Villarreal performed well especially in the second half. Villarreal dominated the match in the second half. However, due to Ancelotti's excellent match strategy and Madrid's strong defense, Villarreal could not score any goals in the second half of this match. I would say that villarreal played quite well. However, it is naturally very difficult to win against an experienced team like Madrid.
Villarreal were also able to take the lead over Real Madrid before Mbappe made two goals in the first half against Villarreal, but if you look at the expected goals and the total kicks that Villarreal were able to create, of course it was much more than what Real Madrid could do as the away team in the match. However, the two goals that Mbappe was able to score in the match were enough to give Real Madrid three points and the pressure that the home team was able to build was also useless at all.
