The French striker scored three goals to secure a decisive 5-0 (1-0) victory against underdogs Kairat Almaty of Kazakhstan. With six points from two matches, the team's Champions League campaign got off to a successful start, thanks in large part to Mbappé. The exceptional striker already has five goals to his name.

However, just as in their opening 2-1 victory against Olympique Marseille, Real Madrid struggled against Champions League newcomers from Almaty. Although Alonso's team dominated in the Kazakh metropolis, only Mbappé scored before halftime, converting a penalty in the 25th minute. 18-year-old Franco Mastantuono had been fouled in the penalty area by goalkeeper Sherkhan Kalmursa.

After the break, Mbappé sealed the victory with two more goals (52'/74'). Eduardo Camavinga (83') and Brahim Díaz (90'+3') secured the 5-0 final score.

Atalanta wins late

Atalanta turned the game around in the second half with a 2-1 (0-1) victory over Club Bruges. Christos Tzolis scored for the Belgians to make it 0-1 in the 38th minute. Lazar Samardžic equalized with a penalty (73rd minute), and then Croatian Mario Pašalic headed the winner (87th minute).
