Real Madrid came back strong after losing the derby to Atletico, beating Kairat Almaty 5-0 in the Champions League at the Ortalyq Stadion.
Mbappé the Star of the Show
Kairat almost shocked Madrid early, but goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois saved them. Madrid then took over. Franco Mastantuono was fouled by Kairat’s young keeper Sherhan Kalmurza, and Kylian Mbappé calmly scored the penalty.
In the second half, Mbappé chipped the ball over the goalkeeper for his second goal. Later, after good teamwork from Rodrygo and Arda Güler, Mbappé completed his hat-trick in the 73rd minute. That’s his fourth Champions League hat-trick!
Camavinga and Díaz Join the Party
Eduardo Camavinga, just back from injury, scored Madrid’s fourth goal with a fine header. Then in stoppage time, Brahim Díaz made it 5-0 after a neat pass from Gonzalo García.
The big win puts Madrid back on track in the Champions League and lifts their confidence after the derby loss. Next up, they face Villarreal in La Liga.
