Early Shock at Santiago Bernabeu
Real Madrid overcame an early setback to secure a commanding 4-1 victory over Las Palmas, reclaiming the top spot in La Liga. Fabio Silva stunned Los Blancos by scoring within 30 seconds after a well-placed cross from Sandro Ramirez. However, Madrid quickly regrouped and dominated the remainder of the game.
Mbappe Leads the Charge
Kylian Mbappe was the star of the night, netting a brace and delivering a stellar performance. The French forward converted a penalty to equalize after Sandro brought down Rodrygo in the box. Mbappe struck again before halftime with a clinical finish from Rodrygo’s assist, bringing his league tally to 12 goals this season. Despite having a hat-trick goal ruled out for offside, his impact was undeniable.
Supporting Cast Steps Up
Lucas Vazquez played a crucial role, setting up Brahim Diaz for Madrid’s second goal after a rebound from Mbappe’s shot. Rodrygo added the fourth with a composed finish from Fran Garcia’s low cross early in the second half. The team’s relentless attacking display kept Las Palmas on the back foot throughout.
David Alaba’s Return Boosts Madrid
After 399 days sidelined with injury, David Alaba made his long-awaited return, receiving a warm ovation from the Santiago Bernabeu crowd. His presence was celebrated by teammates and fans alike, signaling a major reinforcement for Real Madrid as they push for trophies this season.
Las Palmas’ Struggles Continue
The visitors, who started strong, saw their momentum fizzle after conceding. A red card for Benito Ramirez in the second half compounded their woes, as they suffered back-to-back defeats under coach Diego Martínez. The loss leaves them precariously close to the relegation zone.
