Kylian Mbappe delivered a decisive performance for Real Madrid, scoring twice in a commanding Champions League victory over Monaco. Jude Bellingham also found the net, ensuring a comfortable win in Alvaro Arbeloa's first European match in charge of the Spanish side.

This result provides an early boost for Arbeloa, who took over the coaching role this season. For Madrid, it’s a statement of intent as they navigate a new era under his leadership. The team’s attacking fluidity, led by Mbappe, suggests they remain a formidable force in Europe’s premier competition.

Monaco, meanwhile, faces a challenging start to their campaign. The defeat highlights defensive vulnerabilities they must address quickly. All eyes will now be on how Arbeloa manages his squad through the demanding group stage, with Mbappe’s form a key asset for Madrid’s ambitions.
