Barcelona are top on 12 points with both sides having played four matches.
Kylian Mbappe scored his first Liga goals as a quick-fire double saw Real Madrid beat Real Betis 2-0 on Sunday. Mbappe had struggled in front of goal in Madrid’s opening three league matches, but the superstar forward hit form with two goals in the space of eight second half minutes.
Real Betis looked bright before the break but couldn’t cope with Madrid After it, ultimately offered little after Mbappe’s double, as Los Blancos closed the gap on LaLiga leaders Barcelona to four points.
The visitors went close early on through Abde Ezzalzouli, who should have kept his header down. Madrid responded ten minutes later Eder Militao heading at Silva before poking the follow up wide. Mbapper sliced at a Vinicuis Junior cutback and arrowed an effort wide, though Madrid could not click into gear until second half.
With a no-doubt stern team talk from Carlo Ancelotti ringing in their ears, Madrid set the tone when Vinicius’ broke attempt hit the woodwork, with the offside flag sparring Mbappe’s blushes as he fired on the rebound.
Kylian Mbappe Showed greater composure to end his wait for La Liga goal in the 67th minutes, calmly tucking beyond Silva after sublime play from Valverde.
Silva thought he had got lucky after bringing down Junior soon after, only for VAR to spot that Madrid’s attacker had stayed onside before he was fouled by the Betis goalkeeper, and Mbappe duly made no mistake from twelve yards to seal the points.
