Kylian Mbappé Scores Twice in Madrid Win

Kylian Mbappé scored his first two goals in La Liga, leading Real Madrid to a 2-0 victory over Real Betis at the Santiago Bernabeu. After a frustrating start to the season with three league matches without a goal, Mbappé broke his drought with a well-timed finish from a Federico Valverde backheel in the 67th minute, followed by a penalty conversion in the 75th. His performance not only secured the win but also earned him the Man of the Match award, lifting Real Madrid to second place in the league, four points behind Barcelona. Coach Carlo Ancelotti defended Mbappé amid recent criticism, emphasizing his positive contributions to the team despite the lack of goals prior to this match. The win was crucial for Madrid as they prepare for the upcoming international break, with Mbappé expressing his joy at scoring in what he called 'the best stadium in the world.' This marks a significant turnaround for the forward, showcasing his potential to adapt and thrive in Spanish football.
