As a cartoonist who loves to capture the humor and drama of football, I wanted to illustrate Real Madrid’s 3-0 win over Real Oviedo in La Liga 2025.
The match itself wasn’t particularly impressive from Los Blancos, but Kylian Mbappe once again showed why he’s the difference-maker. He scored two crucial goals that put Madrid in control.
The real twist came when Vinicius Jr entered from the bench. Despite the mocking whistles from the home crowd, he assisted Mbappe’s second goal and then scored the third himself, responding to the fans in his own cheeky way.
Meanwhile, Rodrygo continued his struggles on the left wing. With each match, the questions about his future at Real Madrid grow louder.
In my cartoon, I captured this story: Rodrygo mocks Vinicius for starting on the bench — only for Vinicius to rise, smash him with the chair, silence him, and at the same time shut down the hostile Oviedo crowd. It’s a funny yet telling reflection of what happened at the Carlos Tartiere stadium.
Football is not just about tactics and results — it’s also about personalities, emotions, and drama. And that’s exactly what I love to show in my work.
