Mbappé’s Hat-Trick Propels Real Madrid to Victory and Top of La Liga
Real Madrid’s trip to Estadio Municipal José Zorrilla was nothing short of spectacular, as Kylian Mbappé delivered a stunning hat-trick to secure a commanding 3-0 victory over Real Valladolid. This win solidifies Los Blancos’ position at the top of La Liga, pushing them four points clear of Atletico Madrid, with Barcelona trailing by a significant ten points.
The game began with a methodical pace, but Mbappé broke the deadlock in the 30th minute. Receiving a pinpoint cross from Jude Bellingham, the Frenchman calmly curled the ball into the far corner, showcasing his trademark precision. Real Madrid maintained control throughout the first half, with Valladolid struggling to create any meaningful chances. By halftime, the scoreline read 1-0, and it felt like only a matter of time before Real Madrid extended their lead.

The second half saw Real Madrid ramp up their dominance, and Mbappé struck again in the 57th minute. A quick one-two with Rodrygo set him up to cut inside and unleash a fierce shot into the bottom corner, leaving Valladolid's goalkeeper, Karl Hein, with no chance. At this point, Real Valladolid’s resistance began to falter, as they struggled to contain the relentless pace and creativity of Real Madrid’s attack.
As the match entered injury time, Real loanee Mario Martín, now playing for Valladolid, committed a reckless challenge on Bellingham inside the penalty area. A second yellow card for Martín reduced Valladolid to 10 men, and the resulting penalty gave Mbappé his third goal of the night. Calm and collected, he sent the keeper the wrong way, completing his first hat-trick in a Real Madrid shirt.
Mbappé now boasts 15 league goals this season, just one behind Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski. His form has been instrumental in Real Madrid’s quest for silverware. Meanwhile, Valladolid’s woes continue as they sit firmly at the bottom of the table, five points away from safety.
This performance not only highlights Mbappé’s brilliance but also underlines Carlo Ancelotti’s squad depth and tactical mastery. Real Madrid now turns their attention to the Champions League as they prepare to face Brest midweek.
