Sergio Ramos's Sensational Free Kick Helps Real Madrid Go Back Atop La Liga

Real Madrid returned to the top spot in La Liga with a 2-0 win over relegation-threatened Mallorca, a match marked by Sergio Ramos's stunning free kick and the debut of the youngest player in La Liga history.

After Vinicius Junior opened the scoring for Real Madrid–a play whose sequence started with a non-call on a potential Dani Carvajal foul, only for Luka Modric to slip the Brazilian teen a pass and for him to chip the goalkeeper–Ramos's free kick effectively put the result to rest.

The Spanish veteran put his 23-yard, right-footed kick in the upper left-hand corner, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance and doubling Real Madrid's advantage in the 56th minute.
