Kylian Mbappe delivered a stellar performance to inspire Real Madrid to a dramatic 3-2 victory over Leganes in La Liga on Saturday, keeping Los Blancos firmly in the title race.
With the win, Real Madrid moved level on points with league leaders Barcelona, both sitting at 63, though Carlo Ancelotti's side has a game in hand. Meanwhile, Leganes remains in the relegation zone, 18th in the table with 27 points from 29 matches.
Mbappe bagged a brace, while Jude Bellingham also found the net at the Santiago Bernabéu. Diego Garcia and Dani Raba were on target for Leganes in a game that swung back and forth before Madrid emerged victorious.
The French superstar opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, only for Garcia to respond instantly with an equalizer. Leganes stunned the home crowd as Raba struck in the 41st minute to send the visitors into halftime with a 2-1 lead.
However, Madrid wasted no time in the second half. Bellingham restored parity just two minutes after the restart, setting the stage for Mbappe to deliver the decisive moment in the 76th minute, securing all three points for the hosts.
The victory extends Madrid's unbeaten run and keeps their title hopes alive, while Leganes faces an uphill battle to escape the drop.
