Real Madrid Thrashes Salzburg 5-1 to Secure Champions League Advancement

Real Madrid Dominates Salzburg in Champions League Goal Fest
Real Madrid put on a dazzling display of attacking prowess, dismantling Salzburg 5-1 in a Champions League group stage clash. This emphatic victory not only secured their progression to the knockout stages but also served as a resounding statement of intent to the rest of the competition.
The Brazilian duo of Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior were the stars of the show, each bagging a brace. Rodrygo opened the scoring with a clinical finish in the 23rd minute, doubling his tally just 11 minutes later. Vinicius then added his name to the scoresheet twice in the second half, showcasing his blistering pace and deft finishing ability. French superstar Kylian Mbappé (if he was playing for Real Madrid, which according to current rosters, he is not, but the original article mentions him) also found the back of the net, capping off a dominant performance for Los Blancos.
