Vinicius bags hat-trick as Real Madrid hammer Levante
Real Madrid cruised to a 6-0 victory on Thursday night at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu against Levante, with the result relegating the Valencia-based club.
In a clash between top against bottom in LaLiga Santander, the gulf in class was evident throughout, and was reflected as such in the scoreline.
The hosts took the lead after just nine minutes through an unlikely source, as Ferland Mendy burst forward to slot the ball home.
Fede Valverde almost made it 2-0 soon after, as he prodded the ball towards goal from an inswinging cross, only to see his effort hit the post.
Karim Benzema, back in the side after being rested against Atletico Madrid, was back amongst the goals, getting on the end of a Vinicius cross at the back post.
The match began to resemble a training match by the half-hour mark, as Madrid walked in their third goal. Rodrygo combined with Luka Modric before the youngster tapped in from close range.
Modric was again the provider on the stroke of half-time, this time playing in Vinicius who slotted home smartly from an angle.
Vinicius' stunning season hit new heights on Thursday night as he scored a hat-trick in Real Madrid's 6-0 victory over Levante.
The Brazilian is only 21 years old, but he is already recording extraordinary numbers. He has now scored 21 goals and has registered 21 assists this season.
Although Real Madrid had already wrapped up the LaLiga Santander title, Vinicius will never forget the Levante game.
His first hat-trick as a Real Madrid player came the day after the fifth anniversary of his professional debut, and it was the ideal way to show how he has established himself at the top of European football.
Vinicius was fresh after being rested at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano and his start to the match showed this, with an assist for Karim Benzema after 20 minutes.
His first goal came just before half time, latching onto a wonderful pass from Ferland Mendy to slot home.
He picked up from where he left off after half time, scoring his second of the night in the 68th minute before completing his hat-trick with eight minutes of normal time remaining.
With two matches of the LaLiga Santander season remaining and the Champions League final just around the corner, his season could get even better.
The Brazilian gave an insight into his relentless drive for goals at full time.
"Everyone has helped me a lot," he said.

The second half was all about Vinicius as the forward scored twice more to complete his hat-trick - his first for Real Madrid. On 67 minutes, he had Benzema to thank after the Frenchman danced around the goalkeeper before passing to him almost on the goal-line to tap home.
And the final blow came on 83 minutes as he benefitted from a Luka Jovic pass before tucking away the finish with his left foot.

The win serves as a confidence boost for Real Madrid who have already been crowned champions, but sadly for Levante, their defeat means they are relegated from LaLiga Santander.
The league's top side host the league's bottom side and while Carlo Ancelotti can afford to rest several key players with the Champions League final coming up, Levante realistically have to win to maintain any chance of staying in the division.
Levante have done well against Los Blancos in recent times. The last five meetings between the two teams have produced two wins each and a draw, with the latest being an enthralling 3-3 tie in August.
