Real Madrid is playing the second leg of the preliminary playoff round of the UEFA Champions League against Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Los Blancos scored twice in the first half, with both goals coming from Kylian Mbappé. The Frenchman scored another goal in the second half. With this brace, the French star joins an elite group of Real Madrid legends.
Kylian has become only the fourth player in the club’s history to score 3+ goals in the first knockout round of the Champions League (Mbappé also found the net against City in the first leg).
Before him, only Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Brazilian Ronaldo had achieved this feat.
Earlier, we reported that Mbappé had scored Real Madrid’s earliest goal in the Champions League since the Cristiano Ronaldo era.
