Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham were both on target as Real Madrid moved to within four points of LaLiga leaders Barcelona with a 3-0 win at Leganes.
Match Events
Federico Valverde also scored for Carlo Ancelotti's side, who still have a game in hand on leaders Barca, who were pegged back in a 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo on Saturday.
Mbappe ended a goal drought of over 400 minutes after being teed up by Vinicius Junior shortly before half-time, moments after Leganes had surrendered possession near the edge of their own area.
Madrid dominated possession throughout the second half and doubled their advantage in the 66th minute, Valverde drilling a low effort home from a free-kick won by Bellingham.
Mbappe's opener, scored at a vital time shortly before the interval, set Madrid on their way to victory on Sunday.
Eduardo Camavinga and Bellingham both pressed high to help the visitors recover possession in the build-up, and Madrid have now scored five goals resulting from high turnovers in LaLiga this season – the most of any team across Europe's top five leagues.
This was the first time Ancelotti had faced Leganes in LaLiga, and he has now beaten all 28 different opponents he has come up against in the competition.

For Real Madrid fans who missed the match: 1. Vinícius Jr. Irreplaceable and unmatched in quality—Mbappé simply cannot replicate what Vinícius brings to the table. Even when deployed in the No. 9 role, he excelled, creating at least three clear chances that could have been converted if Mbappé or Arda Güler had finished better. Decisive and reliable, Vinícius continues to prove his worth. 2. Mbappé Comparison While Mbappé’s pace is impressive, his overall contributions feel limited compared to Vinícius. His finishing, aside from tap-ins, remains below par, making him look like a questionable investment. Pérez's transfer strategy in pursuing Mbappé seems like a downgrade. 3. Camavinga & Bellingham The true powerhouse of the midfield. Their relentless passion and dedication drive the team forward with exceptional energy and creativity. 4. Arda Güler A rising gem who just needs consistent game time to showcase his immense potential. 5. Fede Valverde A true utility player—no matter where he’s placed, he delivers and never lets the team down. 6. Asencio Appears as if he’s been a key part of this setup forever—solid and reliable in his performances. 7. Fran García Adds a dynamic attacking threat on the left flank, making him a valuable asset when included in the lineup. Overall: Florentino Pérez might have miscalculated this transfer window. Instead of obsessing over Mbappé, the focus should have been on securing a top-class striker and a dependable right-back. With the quality already present in this squad, Mbappé’s addition feels unnecessary
