Mbappe hero and Real Madrid score six in Monaco mauling

Real Madrid dismantled Monaco with a resounding 6-1 victory, sparked early by Kylian Mbappe’s brilliance. The Frenchman opened the scoring in the fifth minute, netting his tenth tournament goal from the edge of the area. Monaco wasted a golden chance through Ansu Fati, and Real Madrid punished them immediately. Vinicius Junior delivered a stunning trivela cross for Mbappe to double the hosts' lead before halftime.

The match was effectively decided minutes after the restart when Franco Mastantuono finished another Vinicius assist. The humiliation continued as Thilo Kehrer turned a cross into his own net. Vinicius then scored the game’s finest goal, rocketing a strike into the top corner. Although a Dani Ceballos error allowed Jordan Teze a late consolation, Jude Bellingham concluded the rout by rounding the goalkeeper. This result lifts Los Blancos to second place overall, leaving a struggling Monaco down in 21st, facing very serious elimination fears now.
