Mbappe continued to shine, netting another goal shortly after, while Lucas Vazquez assisted Brahim Diaz for Real`s second goal. The French superstar nearly completed a hat-trick before halftime, only to be thwarted by an offside call. After the break, Rodrygo added another goal, sealing the emphatic win for the home side.
This victory is particularly significant for Real Madrid, coming on the heels of a tough week that included a loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup and a narrow win over Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey. With this win, Real Madrid now leads La Liga with 46 points, two points ahead of Atletico Madrid and seven points clear of Barcelona, who managed a draw against Getafe.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed his satisfaction with Mbappe`s performance, emphasizing his effectiveness as a center forward. Ancelotti also acknowledged the team`s resilience, noting that recent criticisms and fan booing served as a wake-up call. This match also marked a milestone for Ancelotti, as it was his 150th La Liga victory with Real Madrid, achieved in just 210 league matches.
