Real Madrid hosted Las Palmas at home in the 20th round of La Liga.
The visitors shocked the Santiago Bernabéu crowd just 27 seconds into the match, with Real conceding the fastest goal at their stadium since 2011. However, to their credit, the "Los Blancos" went into halftime leading 3-1, with Kylian Mbappé emerging as the key figure on the field.
The Frenchman equalized with a penalty and then capitalized on a superb pass from Rodrygo, scoring a stunning goal to complete his brace. Just before the break, Mbappé netted another, but the goal was ruled out after a video review.
It's worth noting that this was Mbappé's second brace for Real Madrid. His last two-goal performance came on September 1, during the fourth round of La Liga. His total goals across all competitions this season have now reached 18, and he trails only Robert Lewandowski in the La Liga top scorers list.
Following this match, Real Madrid returned to the top spot in the La Liga standings, taking advantage of recent slip-ups by Barcelona and Atlético Madrid.
