Kylian Mbappe played his best game since moving to Real Madrid. He defeated Manchester City with a hat trick.
Real Madrid beat Manchester City 3-1 on the 20th (Korea Standard Time) in Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid, Spain, in the second round of the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League (UCL) tournament.
In the previous first round, Real, which won 3-2, advanced to the round of 16 with a combined score of 6-3. Real's next opponent will be Atletico Madrid or Bayer 04 Leverkusen, depending on the draw.
By scoring three goals on the day, Mbappe achieved his 500th individual offensive point. Mbappe is still in his mid-20s, only 26 years and 61 days old. However, he achieved his 500th offensive point at various official competitions, including professional and national teams, with 358 goals and 142 assists.
He also became the first player to have a hat trick at UCL, both at his Real home stadium Santiago Bernabeu and at Barcelona's home stadium Camnow. At Camnow, he had a hat trick in an away game for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2021.
He has also maintained his reputation as a Pep killer. The opponent who scored the most goals against Pep Guardiola against Manchester City was Lionel Messi, once his favorite player. Mbappe scored the same number of goals as Messi, as he added one goal in the first match and four goals in a week with a hat trick in the second match.
Real's game was solved with the first score in the fourth minute of the first half. Defender Raul Asensio made a long-distance pass, and opposing defender Hoobeng Diaz struggled with Mbappe and kicked it with his head, so he couldn't even touch the ball and rolled around. Mbappe, who won the ball, finished with a perfect lob that went over goalkeeper Ederson's height.
In the 33rd minute of the first half, this time, four of Real's star players made a perfect joint goal. Jude Bellingham made a through pass from the right side, Vinicius Junior shook the defense and gave it to the center. With the assist that Hodrigu gave through the defensive legs, Mbappe knocked down Yoshko Gvardiol with a shot painting and finished quickly with his right foot.
In the 16th minute of the second half, Mbappe even showed off his feet like Son Heung-min. After receiving the ball pushed forward by Federico Valverde, Mbappe fired a surprise left-footed shot as soon as he dribbled through Phil Foden, which was also inserted into the corner of the goal like a bullet. 온라인바카라
Manchester City made up one goal in the second half with a freshman goal. Omar Marmusz's sharp direct free-kick hit the post and Niko González pushed the ball back. However, it was too late to turn the game around.
