Kylian Mbappé punished his former club with two quick goals as Real Madrid crushed AS Monaco 6-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu. The Champions League victory, featuring goals from Franco Mastantuono, Vinícius Júnior, and Jude Bellingham, propelled Madrid into second place in the league phase standings.

Mbappé’s early brace, his 11th in six Champions League games, set the tone for a dominant performance. The result provides crucial momentum for Madrid under new manager Alvaro Arbeloa, who bounced back from a recent Copa del Rey embarrassment and strengthens their bid for a top-eight finish.

Monaco, managed by former Madrid player Adi Hütter, offered little resistance despite a Jordan Teze consolation. For Madrid, the emphatic win reaffirms their attacking prowess, while Monaco must quickly regroup to salvage their European campaign and improve a league-phase record of two wins and three draws.
