VIDEO. A “Mbappesque” goal: Kylian Mbappé regains morale with Real Madrid by scoring his ninth goal of the season

Led by its stars Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid, dominated at the start of the match, finally corrected Girona (3-0) on its Montilivi pitch this Saturday, November 7 and took advantage of FC Barcelona's new misstep to get closer to the top of the championship.

The Madrid club (2nd, 36 points), reigning Spanish champion, is in fact back to within two lengths of its great rival FC Barcelona (1st, 38 points), held in check on the pitch of Betis Seville (2-2) earlier in the afternoon, with a delayed match to play at the beginning of January in Valencia.

Real, who did not see the light of day during the first half hour of play against enterprising but clumsy Catalans in finishing, was, as often, able to keep their heads down before finding the fault with a little luck thanks to the English midfielder Jude Bellingham (36th, 1-0), opportunistic to score his fifth goal in the last five days.

Bellingham and Vinicius affected

The Birmingham Golden Boy then turned into a passer by serving the young Turk Arda Guler (55th, 2-0), author of his first goal of the season, followed a few minutes later by a third goal from Kylian Mbappé (62nd, 3-0), perfectly launched in depth by Luka Modric.

A ninth league goal may finally be liberating for the French striker, who is trying to emerge from his crisis of confidence, symbolised by his last two missed penalties in Liverpool and Bilbao, with several decisive deadlines approaching, starting with the trip to Bergamo on Tuesday in the Champions League.

Already deprived of many injured players (Carvajal, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Camavinga…), the Spanish giant saw Jude Bellingham and Ferland Mendy leave the field visibly affected, which could be a new blow for Carlo Ancelotti.
