Kylian Mbappe scored twice against his former club Monaco as Real Madrid cruised to a 6-1 Champions League win in Alvaro Arbeloa’s first European match in charge.
Real took control early, with Mbappe opening the scoring inside five minutes before adding his second later in the first half. The French forward, who began his career at Monaco, continues his strong scoring record against them and is now the top scorer in this season’s Champions League.
Goals from teenage midfielder Franco Mastantuono, an own goal by Thilo Kehrer, a powerful strike from Vinicius Jr, and a calm finish by Jude Bellingham completed the rout.
The win boosts Real Madrid’s chances of reaching the last 16, leaving them second in the Champions League table. Monaco, meanwhile, must now beat Juventus in their final group game to keep their qualification hopes alive.
