Real Madrid's Alonso hails Mbappe goals, Vini link in win
"Today he scored two goals again, two fantastic goals, and then there's the movement, the connection with Vini was excellent. The team came out from the first minute to play, to win the game with good concentration, good intensity and a very good rhythm. We dominated the game in that first half. In the second half, we didn't have as much possession, but we maintained control."
"Obviously, we wanted to break the trend a bit, but we went into it with the necessary calm and preparation, and I think the team played a very complete game. We were very focused for the entire 90 minutes, barely conceding anything ... It was probably the most complete performance we've had, in a demanding stadium, at an important moment."
Real Madrid won 3-0 at Athletic Club with Kylian Mbappé scoring twice and assisting Eduardo Camavinga. Mbappé opened the scoring in the seventh minute, added a second after an hour, and has 55 goals in 2025, nearing Cristiano Ronaldo's club calendar-year record of 59. Manager Xabi Alonso praised Mbappé's form and the forward's connection with Vinícius Júnior, saying the team started with strong concentration, intensity and rhythm. Madrid dominated the first half, controlled the match despite less possession in the second, and ended a run of three away draws. Madrid moved to 36 points from 15 games, one point behind Barcelona.
