Mbappé Destroys Former Club as Real Madrid Crush Monaco 6-1 at Bernabéu
The night belonged to Real Madrid and right at the center of it stood Kylian Mbappé, facing the club where his journey began and delivering a reminder of just how ruthless elite football can be.
From the opening minutes at the Santiago Bernabéu, this felt less like a contest and more like a statement. Real Madrid came out sharp, aggressive and focused and Monaco were under pressure almost immediately. Just five minutes in, Mbappé struck. Calm, precise and decisive. It set the tone for everything that followed.
This was not just another Champions League win. This was Real Madrid reasserting control at a crucial point in the competition, after recent turbulence both on and off the pitch. A new manager in Álvaro Arbeloa, questions around form and a demanding fan base meant the margin for error was small. What followed was a response filled with authority.
Mbappé doubled his tally before the half-hour mark, finishing a flowing team move that showcased Madrid’s confidence and cohesion. For Monaco, it was painful. For Madrid, it was clinical. The French forward did not celebrate wildly, but his impact was unmistakable. Against his former club, he was relentless.
