Kylian Mbappé scored his first hat trick for Real Madrid in a commanding 3-0 win over Real Valladolid on Sunday. The 26-year-old forward has been in scintillating form, netting eight goals in his last five matches across all competitions.
Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti lauded Mbappé’s performance, emphasizing the impact of his recent form on the team’s success.
“He’s been playing really well, and this is his first hat trick for us,” Ancelotti said. “He’s bringing so much to the team. Over the last two months, he’s really found his rhythm, and that’s a huge plus for us because he’s a player with a lot of quality.”
With the win, Real Madrid extended their lead at the top of La Liga, moving to 49 points. They are now four points ahead of second-place Atlético Madrid, who were held to a 1-1 draw by Villarreal.
