Real Madrid is putting on a strong performance against Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabéu, in an ongoing LaLiga clash. With goals from Éder Militão and Kylian Mbappé, Xabi Alonso’s side is currently leading 2-0, showing solidity across all lines.

Militão’s rocket opens the night

The scoreline was opened in the 22nd minute thanks to a spectacular strike from Brazilian Éder Militão, who surprised everyone with a shot from about 35 meters out. The ball flew into the top left corner, sending the crowd into a frenzy. That early goal allowed Madrid to take control of the game, managing possession and the tempo with confidence.

Mbappé doubles the lead with a wonder goal

Just after the start of the second half, as Espanyol looked to mount a reaction, Kylian Mbappé appeared. In the 47th minute, after an assist from Vinícius Jr., the French forward unleashed a precise shot from outside the box that nestled next to the post. His wonder goal made it 2-0 and left the visitors with no immediate response.

An emotional moment at the Bernabéu

Beyond the football, the match was marked by an emotional gesture. Young Moroccan Abderrahim Ouhida, a 16-year-old survivor of the 2023 Morocco earthquake, took the ceremonial kickoff. Wearing the white jersey with the number 10, he received a standing ovation from the stadium and hugs from players like Mbappé, Vinícius, and Mastantuono, in a moving scene that touched the entire crowd.
