Real Madrid bounced back from a recent setback with a dominant 4-1 home performance against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday. The capital club’s strong first-half display featured goals from Kylian Mbappé, who converted a penalty, alongside strikes from Alvaro Carreras and Jude Bellingham. Despite a shakier second-half showing that saw Sergio Camello score for the visitors, Mbappé secured the victory with a late goal to seal all three points.
The win comes after Madrid suffered their first league defeat to Real Betis the previous week, though they recovered midweek with a Champions League victory over Inter Milan. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was called upon to make several important saves during a period when the home side’s grip on the match loosened considerably.
Elsewhere in Europe’s top leagues, AC Milan demonstrated impressive resilience in Serie A. After trailing Lazio 2-0 at halftime, manager Ruben Amorim made tactical adjustments that transformed his team’s performance. Diego Moreira scored twice in quick succession during the second half to earn Milan a 2-2 draw and prevent Lazio from extending their perfect start to the season.
In France, Monaco’s unbeaten run finally ended when they drew 1-1 with Strasbourg. An own goal by Sadibou Sane had given Strasbourg the lead before Paris Brunner equalized for the leaders late in the match.
