Real Madrid returned to winning ways in La Liga when they defeated Villarreal 3-1 at home on Saturday night, securing their return to the top of La Liga.

Los Blancos suffered a 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby last weekend, which saw them relinquish control of first spot in the La Liga table to reigning champions Barcelona.

However, a brace from Vinicius Junior and a goal from Kylian Mbappe saw Xabi Alonso's men secure all three points and return to the top of the standings, although Barcelona could reclaim top spot by the end of the matchday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the head-to-head record and takes a look at the past meetings between the two sides.
