Mbappe powers Madrid to comeback win
With Madrid desperate to reclaim the top spot, Mbappe stepped up, finding the net twice before halftime to flip the script after an early setback.
The Frenchman's second goal showcased his clinical finishing, underlining his importance in Carlo Ancelotti’s setup.
However, what could have been a perfect night for the prolific forward turned frustrating when a potential hat-trick chance slipped away.
Arda Guler angers Mbappe with decision
Guler, who has struggled for minutes in his second season at the Santiago Bernabéu, was introduced in the 82nd minute for Fede Valverde, hoping to make an impact.
With just moments left on the clock, an unexpected deflection off Vinicius Jr.’s pass put him in possession inside the box.
Instead of squaring the ball to Mbappe—who had positioned himself for a sure goal—the 20-year-old playmaker went for glory, unleashing a powerful shot that soared over the bar.
While the intent to impress was clear, a simple layoff to Madrid’s leading scorer would have been the smarter choice.
Mbappe’s reaction was immediate, throwing his hands in frustration as the missed chance dashed his hopes of a hat-trick.
According to Flashscore, despite the lapse in decision-making, Los Blancos held firm to secure three crucial points.
However, the moment quickly became a talking point online, with fans weighing in on Guler’s judgment and Mbappe’s response.
