Real Madrid’s second goal came early in the second half. A swift counter-attack saw Rodrygo set up Mbappe, who effortlessly doubled the lead with another clinical finish. Valladolid, sitting at the bottom of the table, struggled to respond, despite some initial threats that required Thibaut Courtois to make key saves.
The final blow came in stoppage time when Mario Martin’s reckless challenge on Bellingham earned him a red card. Kylian Mbappe stepped up for the penalty, converting it with ease to seal the win and grab his match ball.
Real Madrid controlled possession, with nearly 70% of the ball, but struggled to create many clear chances. Missing Vinícius Jr. due to suspension, Los Blancos once again relied on Mbappe’s attacking prowess. Despite a slow start in Spain, the French star has silenced critics by scoring 22 goals this season, including 15 in La Liga. His partnership with Bellingham and Rodrygo has become a crucial asset for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
Madrid’s lead atop the table looks strong with Barcelona set to face Valencia. Mbappe’s form continues to impress, placing him just one goal behind Robert Lewandowski in the La Liga scoring race.
Kylian Mbappe dazzled with his first Real Madrid hat-trick, securing a 3-0 win over Real Valladolid. His brilliant goals, decisive plays, and growing chemistry with teammates boosted Madrid’s La Liga title hopes.
