Mbappé soars and Real Madrid rises in his wake. In the heat of a hat trick The Frenchman, the first since he arrived at the Bernabéu, left the bottom team's home with four points ahead of Atlético, who played at home, and ten points ahead of Barcelona, which hosts the penultimate team, Valencia, this Sunday (9:00 p.m., Dazn). Valladolid, looking into the abyss, bravely clung to the game, until Mbappé once again showed that he was once again the Mbappé that Real Madrid fans wanted so much and not that blurred version that was looking for its place in the first months. After the displeasure of Arabia, Real is once again taking flight at the expense of minor pieces towards the resolution of its European destiny on Wednesday against Brest.

On that route, its gears turn with an increasingly lighter, more harmonious, rounder whistle. The choreography of the four above flows with that miraculous naturalness of jazz improvisations, behind which there is so much rehearsal, so much repetition. Mbappé has stopped being a foreign body and acts more and more like a bearing. In Valladolid, he began his adjustment task by approaching the center of the field, almost always with his back turned, to help soften the joints of Pucela's defensive framework in that initial stretch in which they looked tighter, more impenetrable.
The sign that Madrid was advancing was that the Frenchman was turning: he looked less and less backwards, to play face-to-face, and more forward. It coincided with the increasing appearances of Bellingham, the axis around which the attackers' dance is executed. The Englishman appears, stops, turns around and worlds begin to open up around him. The closer to the front it is installed, the more the rival's defensive alarms go off. He looks out onto the balcony, even with his back turned like against UD Las Palmas, and there they have a partner for all of Mbappé and Rodrygo, this time on the left due to Vinicius' suspension. Only Brahim was a little on the sidelines, on the right.
Through that tight area in the center they perform a dance that increases in speed as if the attackers were spinning in a spiral. The ball flies from Valverde to Mbappé, and to Bellingham, who throws a wall so that the Frenchman finds Hein's net.
The machinery moved as if sliding as they increased the speed of execution, and while the Pucela saw how the initial thrust was undone. They received the leader from the bottom of the table and immersed in an abrasive institutional turmoil. Ronaldo, the president, did not appear in the box to receive his former people. The one now asked him again from the stands to leave. The Brazilian has already put the club up for sale, but can't find anyone to buy it.
With this depressive and angry outlook, Valladolid led by newcomer Diego Cocca came out driven by enormous determination that earned them an almost instant corner. Courtois left one of his limit stops when the clock had just started. Sylla was looking for Asencio, this time positioned as a right back, next to Tchouameni, who was paired with Rüdiger. The youth player once again displayed authority, in the cut and in the exit supported by a powerful stride. Between him and the center backs they frustrated the attacks of Anuar and Amallah, and the runs down the sides of Marcos André.
But they lost sight of the ball and took refuge in a resistance of shock, of scratching a lot, which Madrid was filing with the music of those above, at times with a virtuosity like a rapturous violinist, at times with rock and roll guitars. roll. Mbappé galloped from midfield, opened Rodrygo and doubled him to the outside. The Brazilian returned it and the Frenchman scored again, this time with hardly any angle and between the legs of a defender: a pool touch executed on the run. Until there. One hour was enough.
The rest allowed Alaba to be provided with a little more filming, again in conditions of limited demand. It also served for a little fantasy that almost ended in a goal from Güler and Modric, coming off the bench. And above all for Mbappé to complete his hat trick with a penalty committed by Mario Martín on Bellingham. It was his 22nd goal for Madrid, 15th in the League, just one of Lewandowski's 16 in that race that Vinicius announced for turning his teammate into top scorer. Mbappé accelerates and shoots at Madrid.
