In an impressive display, Kylian Mbappe scored twice to lead Real Madrid to a resounding 4-1 victory over Las Palmas, propelling the team to the top of the LaLiga standings. This win came after a surprising first-minute goal from Las Palmas, where Fabio Silva capitalized on a cross from Sandro to put the visitors ahead. However, Real quickly rallied, with Mbappe equalizing from the penalty spot in the 18th minute after Rodrygo was fouled in the box.

With Vinicius Jr. suspended for this match, Mbappe took on the mantle of being the main attacking threat for Real Madrid. His performance was characterized by his dynamic movement and ability to link up effectively with teammates like Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo. Following the equalizer, Real Madrid went on to score three additional goals, with Brahim Diaz scoring the second after a rebound in the 33rd minute and Mbappe adding a third with a brilliant first-time shot just three minutes later. Rodrygo capped off the scoring in the 57th minute.

Las Palmas' hopes were further dashed when Benito Ramirez received a straight red card for a foul, leaving the visitors with ten men. Despite Real Madrid's dominance, three additional goals from Mbappe, Bellingham, and Federico Valverde were disallowed due to offsides. Reflecting on the match, Mbappe noted the importance of the victory in light of Atletico Madrid's and Barcelona's struggles in their respective matches, expressing his contentment with both the win and his adaptation to the team. This victory elevates Real Madrid to 46 points, two ahead of Atletico Madrid, as they continue their pursuit of the LaLiga title.
