-After equalizing from the penalty spot, the French striker stood out again with a deflected long-range attempt, allowing Brahim Diaz to score Madrid’s second goal. In the 36th minute, Mbappé scored again receiving an excellent pass from Rodrygo to complete his brace. He came close to a hat-trick shortly before half-time, but an offside decision ruled out the goal, despite it having once again been set up by his Brazilian teammate. After the match, coach Carlo Ancelotti was quick to praise Mbappé’s contributions, saying: “He helped us a lot because he is in great form.”
Historically scrutinized by the Spanish media during his less productive periods, Mbappé this time received praise. Madrid daily MARCA highlighted his evolving role within the club, noting: “More relaxed and under less pressure, he is gradually approaching the level of global mega-star that Madrid has long hoped for, even if he still has room to improve.”
