Kylian Mbappe's stellar performance with two goals propelled Real Madrid to a 2-1 victory against Villarreal, placing them three points clear atop the LaLiga standings. Villarreal initially took the lead through Juan Foyth, but Mbappe equalized shortly after, taking advantage of a deflected shot. He scored again with a precise finish to reach his 20th league goal this season. Despite a potential hat-trick opportunity being ruled offside, Madrid's win was crucial, especially following a demanding Champions League fixture midweek. Coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed relief about upcoming match scheduling.
Kylian Mbappe has scored twice to help Real Madrid fight back to beat Villarreal 2-1 and move provisionally top of the LaLiga standings.
