"Mbappe had already been thwarted by Unai Simon by the time he brilliantly took down Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross-field ball and whipped past the Spain goalkeeper in the seventh minute. Thibaut Courtois then did well to deny Alex Berenguer and Vinicius Junior hit the post at the other end, before Eduardo Camavinga nodded into an open goal from Mbappe's headed assist at the end of a fine Madrid move three minutes prior to the break."
"Data Debrief: Mbappe the hero again as Madrid become centurions Mbappe was in typically influential form and each of his four shots in the game were on target, while he greatly outperformed his 0.44 expected goals (xG). The French striker now has 25 goals in 20 games across all competitions, the most among players in Europe's top five leagues (excluding the Club World Cup)."
