Kylian Mbappé has finally found his groove in La Liga! 🎉 The French superstar ended his scoring drought in spectacular fashion, netting two goals in under 10 minutes to lead Real Madrid to a 2-0 victory over Real Betis on Sunday.
The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium erupted when Mbappé opened the scoring in the 67th minute. After a slick backheel pass from Federico Valverde, Mbappé fired a low left-footed shot into the net. Just eight minutes later, he doubled the lead by coolly converting a penalty after Vinícius Júnior was fouled in the box.
\"I was looking forward to scoring in this legendary stadium, the best in the world,\" Mbappé said with a smile. \"But the most important thing was the victory.\"
Mbappé's arrival at Real Madrid had fans buzzing, but his lack of goals in the first three league games had some worried. With this performance, he's silenced any doubters and shown why he's one of the best in the game. ⚽️🔥
Coach Carlo Ancelotti praised Mbappé's contribution, saying, \"For him, it was important to score, but we evaluate the work of the team as a whole, which was better than in the previous match. It was a step forward.\"
This win moves Real Madrid up the standings, now four points behind leaders Barcelona, who have won all four of their opening games. Madrid had a shaky start to the season, but with Mbappé back on form, things are looking up for Los Blancos.
The result keeps Real Betis winless after three games. Coach Manuel Pellegrini will be looking to turn things around as the season progresses.
Real Madrid fans can breathe a sigh of relief. With Mbappé firing on all cylinders and the team finding their rhythm, the season promises to be an exciting one! 💫
