Kylian Mbappe played a top game in Real Madrid’s shirt, while the radar pair Vinicius Junior was on the sidelines due to his suspension.
Kylian Mbappe managed two goals for the second time in the La Liga season as he led Real Madrid to a 4-1 home win over Las Palmas and lifted his club to the top of La Liga.
Carlo Ancelotti the shields did not go to plaster, although Las Palmas took the lead only 25 seconds after the start. In just over half an hour, Real had turned the game around with Mbappe’s two and by Brahim Diaz with one goal.
The French striker properly got into the spotlight at the Santiago Bernabeu as Real’s second-leading man Vinicius Junior reconciled his suspension. Mbappe played one of his best matches in a Real shirt based on his overall performance.
Los Blancos enjoyed a perfect weekend to move past Atletico Madrid by two points after Real’s neighbors suffered a shock defeat at Leganes on Saturday and arch-rivals Barcelona could only manage a sweaty draw at Getafe.
Mbappe has hit his stride in recent weeks, despite a rocky first season at Real Madrid following his move to PSG last summer.
– Now I can play with my teammates the way I want. After the Super Cup final (crushing loss to Barcelona), we have naturally not been satisfied with ourselves. When you play for Real Madrid, you want to win every game, Mbappe emphasized.
26-year-old Mbappe took his number of league goals to twelve and became the second best scorer in the Spanish league after Barcelona Robert Lewandowski after.
Mbappe now has 18 goals in the 30 matches he has played this season, including all leagues.
