Football – Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick as Real Madrid eased to a 5-0 victory over Champions League debutants Kairat Almaty yesterday, bouncing back emphatically from their weekend LaLiga defeat.
Real, coming off a humbling 5-2 loss to city rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday, responded in style, with Mbappe taking his Champions League tally to five goals this season.
“We must never forget (what happened on Saturday). Yes, it’s another competition, but we have to keep thinking about what happened last weekend so we can learn from our mistakes and work to ensure it doesn’t happen again,” Mbappe told Movistar Plus.
“My job is to help the team and I only think about doing what I can to help the team win matches and trophies.
Real’s dominant display leaves them in a strong position in the standings, while Kairat, still seeking their first Champions League point, were left to rue defensive lapses on a challenging night.
