Kylian Mbappé scored a hat-trick to lead Real Madrid to a 3-0 victory over Valladolid on Saturday, extending their La Liga lead to four points. The win came after Atletico Madrid’s 1-1 draw with Villarreal, while Barcelona trails Madrid by 10 points ahead of their match with Valencia.
Mbappé has been in exceptional form lately, netting 15 goals for the season, just behind Robert Lewandowski of Barcelona with 16. His hat-trick performance marked a highlight in his adjustment period following his summer transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.
In a match where Madrid was without the suspended Vinicius Junior, Mbappé’s first goal came in the 30th minute, assisted by Jude Bellingham, and he added two more in the second half. His clinical finishing helped secure Madrid’s victory against the bottom-placed team, despite Valladolid’s brief early challenge. The win was crucial for Madrid after Atletico’s result, and Mbappé expressed his satisfaction with both the hat-trick and the team’s performance.
Mbappé’s current run of form has made him an indispensable asset for the Spanish club as they continue to push for the La Liga title.
