Kylian Mbappe's stellar performance led Real Madrid to a 4-1 victory over Las Palmas, propelling them to the top of La Liga. The Frenchman scored twice, with Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz adding to the tally. Despite conceding early, Madrid dominated as Mbappe stepped up in Vinicius Jr.'s absence.
Kylian Mbappe delivered a stunning performance, scoring a brace in Real Madrid's 4-1 victory over Las Palmas at the Santiago Bernabeu. The win propelled Los Blancos to the top of La Liga, despite a rocky start that saw them concede a goal just 25 seconds into the match.
Fabio Silva's early strike for Las Palmas shocked the home side, but Madrid soon found their rhythm. Mbappe equalized from the penalty spot after Rodrygo was fouled, and Brahim Diaz added a second with a tap-in. Mbappe’s second goal, a powerful shot into the top corner, sealed the lead before halftime, though a potential hat-trick was denied by a narrow offside call.
In the second half, Rodrygo capped off a brilliant team effort with Madrid’s fourth goal. Despite further disallowed goals and missed chances from Jude Bellingham and Brahim Diaz, Madrid dominated the game.
The defensive line, led by Antonio Rudiger and Fran Garcia, recovered well after the early scare. Midfield maestro Dani Ceballos controlled the tempo, delivering his best performance of the season.
Madrid now turns its focus to the Champions League, facing Salzburg next in their quest for European glory.
