Real Madrid secured a commanding 3-0 victory against Cadiz in LaLiga, propelling them provisionally to the top of the standings with 35 points. Rodrygo shone with a stellar performance, netting two goals, while Jude Bellingham also found the target.

Despite facing challenges due to injuries to key players like Eduardo Camavinga and Vinicius Jr sustained during international duty, Real Madrid showcased resilience. Rodrygo broke the deadlock in the 14th minute with a brilliant shot into the top right corner. Ancelotti praised the team's competitive spirit, emphasizing the ability to navigate difficulties.

Rodrygo continued his impressive performance, securing his second goal in the 64th minute with another well-placed shot from inside the box. Bellingham sealed the win 10 minutes later with his 11th league goal of the season.

Ancelotti expressed confidence in the team's form, considering it an important moment in the season. Despite notable injuries, the squad's adaptability and competitiveness have been key to their success.

Looking ahead, Real Madrid faces Italian champions Napoli in the Champions League Group C clash on Wednesday, with their spot in the knockout stages already secured. Ancelotti highlighted the team's positive momentum and expressed satisfaction with Rodrygo's standout performance and Bellingham's contribution despite a lingering shoulder injury.
