Kylian Mbappe was at the heart of all three goals as Real Madrid delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over Athletic Club in LaLiga, extending Los Blancos' impressive record to just one defeat in their last seven head-to-heads against the Lehoiak.
Following Real Madrid's recent 1-1 draw against Girona , the game started with intense action at both ends, as Athletic's goalkeeper Unai Simon was forced into two quick saves to deny Mbappe and Vinicius Junior after shaky defending in the opening minutes.
But the French superstar wasn't to be denied. In the seventh minute, he collected a precise pass from Trent Alexander-Arnold, elegantly glided past Inigo Lekue, cut inside Aymeric Laporte, and thundered the ball past Simon to give Madrid the lead. Interestingly, Softfootball earlier reported that that Trent assist was his first in the Spanish top flight.
