In a thrilling encounter at the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid secured a vital 3-1 victory over Las Palmas, with Kylian Mbappé once again playing a key role in his team’s success. The win sees Real Madrid leapfrog Barcelona to the top of the La Liga standings, solidifying their title ambitions for the 2024-2025 season.
Mbappé, who joined Madrid in the summer from Paris Saint-Germain, continued his scintillating form with yet another stellar performance. The French forward opened the scoring in the 20th minute, capitalizing on a perfectly timed through ball from Luka Modrić. His clinical finish, dispatching the ball past Las Palmas goalkeeper Alvaro Fernandez, demonstrated why Madrid’s decision to bring him in was met with such fanfare.
The 25-year-old’s contribution didn’t end there. Just before halftime, Mbappé assisted Vinícius Júnior for a second goal, his precise cross making the Brazilian’s header look effortless. This link-up between the two forwards has quickly become one of the most feared partnerships in European football.
Although Las Palmas managed to pull one back through a well-taken goal by their star striker, Jonathan Viera, Real Madrid controlled the tempo for the majority of the match. In the second half, Mbappé continued to terrorize the Las Palmas defense with his blistering pace, drawing fouls and creating space for his teammates. His work ethic off the ball also stood out, as he tirelessly tracked back to help Madrid in defense whenever needed.
The victory propelled Real Madrid to the top of the league table, with Mbappé’s influence in the match underlining his importance to the team. With 14 goals and 7 assists in just 16 appearances, the Frenchman has already had a profound impact on Madrid’s attacking play. His seamless integration into the squad has made it clear that he will be a crucial player in the club’s pursuit of La Liga and Champions League glory this season.
As Madrid’s top scorer this season, Mbappé’s form will be critical as they aim to defend their league crown and compete for European honors. Fans are already dreaming of more magical moments from the French sensation, who continues to make an immediate and lasting impression in Spanish football.
