Real Madrid eventually found their rhythm, but Juventus continued to create scoring opportunities. In the second half, Thibaut Courtois made another impressive save to deny Dušan Vlahović, who had broken away from the defense.
The turning point came when Vinícius Júnior's shot hit the post and fell to Jude Bellingham, who scored his first goal since June. This goal gave Real Madrid the lead, and they began to assert their dominance, with Michele De Gregorio making several crucial saves to keep the score at 1-0.
De Gregorio made a stunning double save to deny Kylian Mbappé and Brahim Díaz, with the latter's effort being cleared off the line by Federico Gatti. The final chance for Juventus came when Loïs Openda failed to get his shot away in time, and Raúl Asencio made a crucial block to secure the win for Real Madrid.
This victory puts Real Madrid in a good position ahead of their upcoming El Clasico match, while Juventus struggles to find their form, having gone seven games without a win and sitting outside the qualification places in the Champions League.
The standout player of the match was Arda Güler, who impressed for Real Madrid.
