With a brace from Kylian Mbappé and a powerful header by Eduardo Camavinga, Real Madrid emphatically snapped their lackluster streak of three consecutive draws. This 3-0 demolition of Athletic Bilbao moves them within a single point of league leaders Barcelona, celebrating their eleventh championship victory while freezing the Basques in eighth place.
The match opened explosively with Mbappé’s brilliance. In just the seventh minute, the Frenchman orchestrated a solo masterpiece, dropping two Bilbao defenders before unleashing an unstoppably fierce missile past Unai Simón. Although Vinícius Júnior later rattled the post, the lead doubled before halftime. Following Trent’s precise cross and Mbappé’s clever flick, Camavinga nodded home to finish a beautiful attacking sequence.
The second half saw Los Blancos complete the rout, with Mbappé striking again. He sealed the dominant performance by rifling another magnificent, uncatchable long-range thunderbolt, confirming Madrid’s resurgence and keeping the fierce Spanish title race very much alive.
