THE Kylian Mbappe took… forward and the Real Madrid it starts to “fall away”! With its French superstar producing his best performance of the season, the ‘queen’ gave a unique performance at ‘Jose Torilla’ by winning 3-0 of Valladolid and escaped to +4 from the second Atlético.
Mbappe’s maiden… treble to the “merenches” and Madrid’s 4th consecutive win in the championship for the first time after September!
Thus, Carlo Ancelotti’s team took advantage of their compatriot’s tussle with Villarreal in the best possible way and are waiting for another… gift from Valencia, who are hosted by Barcelona at “Montjuic”.
As for the match, it took Real Madrid half an hour to break down Valladolid’s defence. Mbappe came in from the left and with a wonderful place put his team in front with the score 1-0 which remained until the break. In the second half, the “merenches” looked for another goal which would essentially seal the victory and they found it in an identical way in the 57th minute. New attack by Mbappe from the left side of the area and a wonderful place for 2-0!
The scoreline could have slipped away with Rodrigo and Modric missing important chances, but in the 90th minute the visitors won a penalty and were sent off. Bellingham in stoppage time received a very hard marking in the area by Martin who went to the dressing room a little earlier with a second yellow card. Mbappe made no mistake from the white bullet and made the final 3-0!
