The Frenchman, who has scored in 5 consecutive games, seals the victory for the Blancos who go 3-0 away. Now Villarreal is at -4, Barcelona and Athletic, who play Valencia and Leganes tomorrow, are even at -10
Dragged by the highly inspired Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid goes on the run in La Liga: 3-0 victory for Ancelotti in Valladolid with a hat-trick from the Frenchman: Atletico stopped by Villarreal at home and is at -4, Barcelona and Athletic, busy tomorrow with Valencia and Leganes, even at -10.
MBAPPÉ PHENOMENON
—
Vinicius disqualified and spins without history: the Zorrilla stadium loudly sings its ‘Ronaldo vete ya’, Ronaldo go away, against the Brazilian ‘Phenomenon’, owner no longer liked or appreciated, and after two good saves by Courtois on David Torres and Sylla Mbappé took over, directing the match. First goal in the 30th minute, after a triangle with Bellingham (with his tenth assist) picked up by Valverde. Ball hit precisely with the right. The second in the 58th minute, to close a Madrid counterattack with an assist from Rodrygo. Another surgical right from an angled position.
BIG NUMBERS
—
Ancelotti offered other precious minutes to Alaba who was out of action for 13 months, then introduced Modric and Arda Guler in a match that passed without major upheavals until the 88th minute when Mario Martin slid in on Bellingham in the area, took the ball and then the Englishman’s calf. The referee doesn’t see anything, but then they call him to the monitor and he decrees the double punishment: penalty for Real and expulsion of the Valladolid midfielder for a second yellow card. On the spot, Mbappé finished the hat-trick and took the ball. The Frenchman has scored in 5 consecutive games, 8 goals in total which brings him to 22 for the season and 15 in La Liga, just one less than Pichichi Lewandowski. It is Mbappé’s Madrid, and it has its hands on La Liga.
