Real Madrid secured their third consecutive victory in the Champions League by overpowering RB Leipzig 4-1, further solidifying their flawless start to the European campaign under Jose Mourinho.
The match remained tightly contested until late in the first half, when Bernardo Silva broke the deadlock with a close-range finish. Shortly after the break, Arda Guler extended the lead, giving the record 15-time European champions a comfortable advantage.
Adding to the tally, Kylian Mbappe curled in a third goal, showcasing his consistent scoring form this season. Leipzig managed to reply through Tidiam Gomis, who found the net to offer a glimmer of hope for the German side. However, the final word belonged to Yan Diomande, who sealed the comprehensive victory with a powerful volley into the top corner late in the game.
Mbappe’s Remarkable Scoring Streak Continues
Mbappe, who aims to clinch the Ballon d’Or next week, has demonstrated remarkable consistency by scoring in every Champions League match for Madrid this season, totaling 12 goals in as many appearances. Speaking after the win, he emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and ambition.
“We know every point is important to get into the top eight, we know we have to win as many games as possible — we’ve won three and there are five to go,” Mbappe told Movistar.
“I’m doing well (but) I think I can do more,” he added. “I’m one of the few players who always has to demand more from himself… right now it’s a good moment, but we have to keep going and I have to do more.”
Madrid’s triumph over Leipzig marks their fourth straight win across all competitions, a positive momentum boost ahead of the highly anticipated La Liga Clasico against their fierce rivals Barcelona this Sunday.
