French superstar’s stunning hat-trick leads the champions to a commanding victory in their tournament opener.
Kylian Mbappé announced his arrival on the grandest stage with a breathtaking individual performance, scoring a hat-trick to power Real Madrid to a 5-0 victory over a game Kairat side. The 15-time champions were ultimately ruthless, but were given an early scare by the visitors before their new talisman took center stage.
The Bernabéu crowd was stunned into silence within the first ten seconds, as Kairat’s Dastan Satpayev forced a sharp save from goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. The early warning served as a wake-up call, and Madrid nerves were settled in the 25th minute when Mbappé coolly sent the goalkeeper the wrong way from the penalty spot.
Any hopes of a Kairat comeback were extinguished shortly after the restart. A long clearance from Courtois found Mbappé in stride, and the French international showcased his blistering pace before finishing with a delicate chip over the onrushing keeper. He then sealed his hat-trick in spectacular fashion with a powerful, driven strike from the edge of the area with 17 minutes remaining.
The goal rush continued late into the game, with Eduardo Camavinga adding a fourth with a clever near-post header before substitute Brahim Díaz put the finishing touch on the night with a low, driven shot to complete the scoring.
Unsurprisingly, the man of the match honor went to Kylian Mbappé, whose dazzling display provided a perfect reminder of the devastating firepower he brings to the Spanish giants.
