Kylian Mbappé scored twice to lead Real Madrid to a 4-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano in La Liga. Mbappé opened the scoring with a 14th-minute penalty after Florian Lejeune fouled Álvaro Carreras. Lejeune's subsequent error allowed Mbappé to assist Carreras for Real Madrid's second goal. Jude Bellingham extended the lead to 3-0 in the 35th minute.

However, Rayo Vallecano mounted a strong second-half challenge at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Sergio Camello scoring in the 51st minute. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made several crucial saves to deny Pedro Díaz, Lejeune, and Heorhii Tsitaishvili. Despite home fans whistling José Mourinho's side for their performance dip, Mbappé secured the win with his second goal in stoppage time. His double brings him level with Barcelona's Raphinha and Rayo's Camello with six goals in La Liga.
