CL 25-26 : Mbappé Hat-Trick Inspires Real Madrid’s Rampant 5-0 Win; Kane Fires Bayern to Dominant Victory
Real Madrid bounced back in dazzling fashion in the Champions League group stage, ruthlessly dismantling Kazakhstan’s Kairat Almaty with a resounding 5-0 triumph away from home. Star forward Kylian Mbappé was the architect of Madrid’s dominance, netting a superb hat-trick, while Eduardo Camavinga and Brahim Díaz added late strikes to complete the rout.
Madrid, still smarting from their 5-2 derby humiliation against Atlético last weekend, looked determined to make amends. They stamped their authority early, controlling possession with 68% and peppering the opposition goal with 20 attempts, 12 of them on target. Mbappé opened the scoring in the 25th minute from the penalty spot, calmly converting to put the visitors ahead at halftime. The Frenchman doubled the lead in the 52nd minute before sealing his hat-trick in the 73rd with a clinical finish. Camavinga’s 83rd-minute goal and Díaz’s injury-time strike wrapped up a crushing victory for Los Blancos.
In another one-sided clash, Bayern Munich put on a scintillating first-half display to thrash Pafos FC 5-1. Harry Kane led the charge with a clinical brace, while Raphaël Guerreiro and Nicolas Jackson also found the net in a devastating 20-minute spell that left the Cypriot side reeling. Though Oršić briefly pulled one back before halftime, Bayern restored their four-goal cushion in the 68th minute through Michael Olise, sealing a commanding win.
Both European heavyweights — Madrid and Bayern — reminded their rivals why they remain among the continent’s most feared clubs, combining ruthless finishing with total control to announce their Champions League ambitions in style.
