Superstar Kylian Mbappé scores for Real Madrid for the first time in LaLiga. The Frenchman leads the Royals to victory.
A quick start and a cool finish, then a confident penalty spot a little later – the spell is broken for Kylian Mbappé! Real Madrid’s new superstar scored his first two goals in Spain’s La Liga at the fourth attempt, putting the Royals on track. The final result was a 2-0 (0-0) win against Betis Sevilla, who are still winless. Thanks to Mbappé, Real climbed to second place in the table with eight points.

Mbappé scores confidently from the penalty spot
They are four points behind arch-rivals FC Barcelona, who started the season perfectly with four wins under coach Hansi Flick. However, Real at least avoided losing another point after two draws against Mallorca and Las Palmas.
The stars again struggled for a long time, and Mbappé only had half-chances at first. In the middle of the second half, Fede Valverde set up the Frenchman with a heel, Mbappé ran after the ball and shot straight away. His eighth shot of the evening brought the first goal (67th minute), and Spain had not looked at Mbappé’s empty goal tally since 10:58 p.m. A little later, Betis goalkeeper Rui Silva brought down Real’s Vini Junior, and Mbappé safely converted the penalty (75th minute).
The 25-year-old fulfilled a childhood dream in the summer when he moved from Paris Saint-Germain to Madrid, and things got off to a good start for the superstar: in the European Super Cup against Atalanta Bergamo, the striker scored the final goal for the Champions League winners to make it 2-0. In La Liga, however, he was the face of a false start – until he scored a brace against Betis.
