Jude Bellingham was particularly impressive, opening the scoring before creating Guler's second. Mbappe exorcised some of the many demons that have gathered in recent months.
Despite their struggles, Girona forced Madrid onto the back foot in front of an engaged home crowd. The hosts were responsible for four of the game's first five shots.
Madrid took the lead after Luka Modric stole possession, delivering a pass which allowed Bellingham to fire in a goal between two defenders.
Carlo Ancelotti acknowledged mild concerns over his team's form, but the routine victory over Girona was a much-needed boost in confidence.
