Real Madrid has defeated Valladolid by 0 goals to 3. It was not an easy match for Ancelotti's team, who, despite feeling comfortable on the field, didn't achieve a wide advantage. This is all due to a new exhibition by Kylian Mbappé, who was outstanding, leading a new victory and securing three more points in the league with an important hat-trick.
Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring in the 30th minute, when Real Madrid needed him the most. He did it through a great one-two with Bellingham, easily surpassing the opposing goalkeeper and leading his teammates. It was not the only goal for the French forward at José Zorrilla, as he also scored the 0-2 and the definitive 0-3, the latter from a penalty.
These 3 points against Valladolid are considered very important for Real Madrid. After 21 matches, they already have 49 points, being the clear leader of the league. These come after a new stumble by the main pursuer, Atlético de Madrid, who drew hours earlier against Villarreal and fell behind with 45 points.
