Starting on Tuesday against Alavés, Kylian Mbappé scored Real Madrid’s second goal after a superb relay with Jude Bellingham. His second goal in open play since his arrival.
Kylian Mbappé has probably just scored his best goal in a Madrid jersey, for the moment. Expected on the bench but finally starting this Tuesday during the reception of Alavés, the French striker participated in the Merengue’s party during the 7th day of La Liga.
After Lucas Vasquez opened the scoring in the first minute, the captain of Les Bleus made the break just before the break. He found Bellingham with a pass behind the supporting leg, before the latter passed it back to him in depth. The 25-year-old made a perfect sequence in the box to score with a cross shot.

Five goals in La Liga
This achievement is the 7th in the Real jersey since his arrival. Scorer against Atalanta in the European Super Cup for his baptism of fire, Mbappé already has five goals in La Liga, including three penalties, which he shares with Vinicius. He also found the net for his first Champions League match against Stuttgart.
With a two-goal lead at half-time against Alavés, Carlo Ancelotti’s team were already well on their way to maintaining their year-long unbeaten run in La Liga (38 consecutive games) and returning to within one point of Barça, the solid leader (six wins in as many games), who host Getafe this Wednesday (9 p.m.).
