All is not well at Real Madrid at the moment. But if there is one train that arrives on time, it is the TGV Kylian Mbappé. Building on his excellent start to the season, the Frenchman simply scored the first quadruple of his career in the Champions League, this Wednesday evening, on the field of Olympiakos (3-4).
This was necessary because Real, in an incandescent Greek atmosphere, was trailing after the nice collective goal signed by Chiquinho (1-0, 8th). Mbappé’s reaction was quick, with a hat-trick in the space of a few minutes (22nd, 24th, 29th), to quickly put his team back on the right path.
Already 9 goals for Mbappé in C1
In the second half, while Olympiakos reduced the gap through Taremi (52nd) and El Kaabi (81st), Mbappé therefore passed the fourth on a service from Vinicius Jr (2-4, 60th). A little earlier in the match (32nd), Mbappé had offered the Brazilian a goal, but the Bondynois had been flagged offside for a few centimeters.
After its defeat at Liverpool the previous day, Real Madrid resumed its march forward with a fourth success in five Champions League matches. He owes it to his “Kyks”, top scorer in the competition with 9 goals, and already author of 22 goals with his club since the start of the season. Imperial!
