Kylian Mbappe was once again the difference-maker for Real Madrid as they secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Real Oviedo.
The French superstar netted twice, taking his tally to three goals in just two matches this season.
From the opening whistle, Madrid were in complete control, dominating possession and dictating the rhythm of the game.
Yet, despite their superiority, the breakthrough didn’t arrive until the half-hour mark. That’s when Mbappe produced a moment of brilliance, showing his class to put his team ahead and change the tone of the match.
From then on, Oviedo simply could not keep up with the pace and quality of Xabi Alonso’s side.
The win follows Mbappe’s outstanding performance against Osasuna just five days earlier, when he won and scored a penalty.
With back-to-back dominant displays, the forward is already sending a clear message to La Liga rivals that he has now settled at Madrid and is ready to lead the attack.
Florentino Perez delighted with his star forward
In the stands, club president Florentino Perez watched the match closely, seated alongside Oviedo’s top official, Martin Pelaez.
Perez enjoyed some light moments during the game, even taking part in a video call, but his full attention returned once Mbappe began to shine.
After the final whistle, Perez made his way to the dressing room to personally congratulate the squad, with a special focus on the Frenchman.
Hugging Mbappe, the president joked, “At the Bernabeu, we’re going to have to make room for another Pichichi this year, aren’t we?” he said as quoted by Defensa Central.
With his brace, Mbappe has now scored in seven consecutive domestic matches and has reached 47 goals since arriving at Real Madrid.
His consistency in front of goal, combined with his leadership in attack, is exactly what Perez and the fans hoped for.
