Kylian Mbappé Stars in Real Madrid's Dominant 3-0 Victory

Kylian Mbappé scored his first hat-trick for Real Madrid, leading them to a 3-0 win over Real Valladolid and moving them four points clear at the top of La Liga. The France captain opened the scoring in the 30th minute with a precise strike into the far corner from a cross by Jude Bellingham. Then, after halftime, Mbappé doubled Real’s advantage by finishing off a pass from Rodrygo, cutting inside and firing a powerful shot into the bottom corner.

He completed his hat-trick in added time, converting a penalty after a reckless tackle by Real Valladolid loanee Mario Martin on Bellingham. As a result, the challenge led to Martin’s dismissal. Kylian Mbappé now has 15 goals in La Liga, just one behind Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski, and 22 goals across all competitions. Consequently, this victory allowed Real Madrid to extend their lead at the top of the table, capitalizing on Atletico Madrid’s earlier draw.

Valladolid, on the other hand, stay at the bottom of La Liga with no signs of improvement. With the title race heating up, Real Madrid now shifts focus to their upcoming Champions League clash. They will travel to Brest on Wednesday where they must secure a win to have any hope of finishing in the top eight of their group. Ultimately, this win further strengthens Real Madrid’s position as La Liga leaders and sets them up for an important midweek European challenge.
