Sat Mar 29 22:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Mbappe Brace Leads Madrid to Nervy 3-2 Victory Over Leganes

**Madrid, Spain** – Kylian Mbappé’s two goals, including a penalty and a free-kick, propelled Real Madrid to a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Leganes in a thrilling encounter. The match saw a shaky defensive performance from the home side, leaving them vulnerable to Leganes’ counter-attacks.

While Mbappé shone, delivering the match-winning performance expected of him, other Madrid players received mixed reviews. Jude Bellingham also impressed, earning an 8/10 rating for his all-around play, providing the assist for the penalty and scoring a goal himself. However, Lucas Vázquez and Vinícius Júnior were criticized for subpar performances, receiving ratings of 4/10 and 4/10 respectively. The midfield pairing of Modric and Camavinga also struggled to contain Leganes’ attacks.

Despite the win, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti will likely be concerned by the defensive lapses that allowed Leganes to score twice. The team’s shaky backline will need to improve significantly for upcoming challenges. The victory, however, maintains Madrid’s strong start to the season.
