Real Madrid triumphed over Racing de Santander 3-0 in their match corresponding to matchday 11 of LaLiga. The goals were scored by Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Yan Diomande, all in the first half, ensuring a comfortable victory for the team managed by José Mourinho.

In the match, Real Madrid returned to the stadium of Racing de Santander, known as El Sardinero, after 15 years. The absence of Fede Valverde, who did not recover from a muscle injury sustained in the Clásico against Barcelona, was one of the main updates in the team's lineup.

Despite the victory, the match was also notable for the controversy in China, where state television decided to suspend broadcasts of LaLiga following Mbappé's remarks about Mao Zedong, causing a scandal that affected the coverage of the event.

The match proceeded without incident, and the media impact was significant due to the stance of Chinese television and the addition of Real Madrid's sixth consecutive victory in all competitions.

Additionally, the live broadcast of the match was handled by DirecTV Sports, which offered the game both on television and via streaming for its subscribers. This allowed fans from various regions to follow the progression of the match.

With this victory, Real Madrid maintains its position in the race for the top spot in LaLiga, closely competing with clubs like Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, who have also performed strongly this season.
