Mbappé Shines with Four Goals in Real Madrid’s Victory against Olympiacos

Athens, Greece – Kylian Mbappé once again demonstrated his extraordinary talent by scoring four goals in Real Madrid’s thrilling 4-3 victory against Olympiacos. The match, corresponding to the fifth matchday of the Champions League, kept fans on the edge of their seats. The Greek team surprised at the start with a goal by Chiquinho in the 8th minute. However, Mbappé took control of the match, scoring a hat-trick in just seven minutes (22′, 24′ and 29′), which turned the score around and left Olympiacos bewildered.

Olympiacos Fights Until the End

Despite Real Madrid’s advantage, Olympiacos did not give up. Mehdi Taremi scored with a header in the 52nd minute, but Mbappé reappeared, completing his poker of goals in the 60th minute. With this, the French star reached nine goals in this edition of the Champions League, consolidating himself as the top scorer. The Kaabi reduced the distance to 3-4 in the 81st minute, generating tension in the final minutes. Olympiacos came close to equalizing with attempts by El Kaabi and Gabriel Strefezza in the 83rd and 85th minutes, but Real Madrid managed to maintain the lead until the end.

Relief for Xabi Alonso

The team led by Xabi Alonso, who arrived at the match after a defeat and two draws in LaLiga, secured three crucial points. With this victory, Real Madrid has 12 points out of a possible 15 in the Champions League group. This triumph also represents a historic milestone: it is Real Madrid’s first official victory in Athens, after nine previous visits without achieving it.

Upcoming Meetings

Real Madrid will receive Manchester City on December 10 in the last matchday of the group stage. Olympiacos, with only two points, will visit Kairat Almaty to try to keep their classification options alive.
