Kylian Mbappe secured his first La Liga goals for Real Madrid, scoring a brace in a 2-0 victory over Real Betis at the Santiago Bernabeu.

This win propels Madrid to second place in the standings, with eight points, while Betis sits in 17th with just two points. Coach Carlo Ancelotti defended Mbappe's early struggles, emphasizing his overall performance and contribution to the team. Madrid's victory comes amid a strong start from their rivals Barcelona, who lead the table after a stunning 7-0 win over Real Valladolid. The match showcased Madrid's resilience and Mbappe's ability to respond to criticism effectively.
