Real Madrid came to a dominant 3-0 victory against Real Valladolid at Estadio Jose Zorrilla, inspired by the brilliant hat-trick of Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe opened a point after half an hour after a smart one or two with Jude Bellingham. The French striker passed the goalkeeper Hein with a precise shot and brought Madrid a well -deserved lead.
Valladolid resistance was limited to an early chance, brilliantly defended by Thibaut Courtois, but fought to create additional opportunities, ending up with just one blow to the goal.
In the second half, Mbappe doubled his result with a clinical finish after a quick counter -attack in which he included Rodryga. He then crowned his performance with a penalty area in the referee’s compensation and scored his first hat-trick for the club. In the last moments, Mario Martin of Valladolid was excluded for a dangerous skirmish.
With this victory, Real Madrid moved four points ahead of Atletico Madrid, at the top of Laliga.

Bayern Munich had a hard time with a 2-1 victory over Freiburg retained his position at the top of the Bundesliga.
Harry Kane opened hits in the 15th minute, turning expertly by turning from Lienharta before low breaking at Atubolu for his 17th League goal of the season.
The guests doubled their advantage at the beginning of the second half when Joshua Kimmich performed a precise corner, enabling Min-Jae Kima to score from close range. Freiburg, however, did not want to roll over, pulling one in the 68th minute. The perfectly measured corner of Ritsu Doan found Matthias Ginter, who rose above Kim and sent his head to his head into the lower corner.
Despite the late pressure of the host, including the almost miss Gregoritsch in added time, Bayern remained firm. Kingsley Coman was close to increasing the leadership, extorting the beautiful defense of Atubolu, but it turned out to be unnecessary because the Bavarian giants saw the match.
