Belgian youngster Largie Ramazani gave his side the lead after just 38 seconds, consigning Madrid to a feeling they have not experienced in almost 10 years.

The goal was the earliest the Spanish giants conceded in all competitions since 2015. Ironically, the last time they conceded a goal as early, it was also within 38 seconds.

Young Belgian makes headlines

Belgian winger Ramazani gave Almeria the perfect start, scoring within the first minute.

The 22-year-old, whose parents hail from Burundi, feigned shooting to the right of Kepa Arrizabalaga before sending the ball into the other side of the net.

He then produced a celebration to match the exhilaration of all Almeria fans.

Edgar Gonzalez scores screamer for Almeria

Things went from bad to worse for Madrid when Almeria went 2-0 up before the halftime break.

Defender Edgar Gonzalez scored a beautiful strike as he connected with a volley from outside the box.

Sadly, Almeria couldn’t hang on to the two-goal lead from the first half, as Los Blancos fought back to win the game 3-2.

As a result, they are yet to pick up their first win of the season.

Vinicius Junior scores controversial goal with arm

Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior has found himself again in the headlines as he appeared to have scored a goal with his arm against Almeria.

Sports Brief reported that the Brazilian striker scored Madrid's equaliser in the second half, but the goal was initially ruled out for handball.

The referee then watched the incident again on the VAR screen and deemed that the goal should stand despite Vini Jr appearing to use his arm.
