Atlético de Madrid held in check by Villarreal earlier in the day (1-1), Real Madrid did not fail to consolidate its leadership in La Liga this Saturday on the occasion of the 21e lifting. Thanks to a brilliant Kylian Mbappé, the Merengues ruled the roost over their hosts with a clear score of 0-3.
Author of two doubles already since his arrival in Madrid this summer, the captain of the Blues scored his very first hat-trick in favor of the White House, scoring in the 30e57e and 90e+1 (from a penalty) to allow his team to win without batting an eyelid.
8 goals in 5 matches
Credited with 15 goals in the Spanish elite, the former Parisian brings his total at Real, in all competitions, to 22 goals in 32 matches played. With newfound efficiency and a hellish pace of eight goals in his last five appearances.
The Mbappé machine is launched, certainly, and Real takes advantage of it to count this evening four lengths ahead of its first pursuer – Atlético – Barça and Bilbao being able to return to seven points on Sunday in the event of success over Valencia and Leganes respectively.
