Real Madrid maintained their perfect start to the La Liga season with a 4-0 home victory over Malaga on Monday, according to multiple reports including Goal.com and the BBC. Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe were the standout performers in the match, which took place at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Bellingham got on the scoresheet during the game, as reported by the BBC, while Mbappe also impressed throughout the contest. The win keeps Real Madrid with a flawless record in the league under manager Jose Mourinho, who took charge of the club in the offseason.
Goal.com highlighted the contributions of both Bellingham and Mbappe in their match report, describing their performances as key to the team's comfortable victory. The Guardian also noted that Bellingham sparked the team's cruise to the win, which was their latest in a series of dominant displays.
Sky Sports offered additional context on Bellingham's role, reporting that Mourinho is getting the best out of the England international by deploying him as a number 10. This tactical adjustment appears to be unlocking the midfielder's attacking potential in the Spanish capital.
The result underscores Real Madrid's early-season dominance, with the team yet to drop points in the current campaign. Managing Madrid's player ratings also reflected a strong team performance, though specific individual scores were not detailed in the available reporting.
With the season still in its early stages, Real Madrid will look to extend their winning run when they face their next La Liga opponent. The combination of Bellingham's creativity and Mbappe's finishing will likely remain central to Mourinho's plans as the team pursues silverware on multiple fronts.
