Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe both struck as Real Madrid’s perfect start to La Liga under Jose Mourinho continued in a 4-0 cruise against Malaga on Sunday.
Los Blancos Dominate Early Against Andalusian Rivals
Real Madrid, known as Los Blancos, took control of the match early, scoring three goals in just over 10 minutes during the first half. This rapid scoring spree established a significant advantage over their Andalusian opponents at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Bellingham opened the scoring after 19 minutes with an excellent solo goal, beating two defenders before drilling through Herrero’s legs. Edin Terzic’s Athletic Bilbao also claimed their first win, 2-0 at Celta Vigo, with goals from Alex Berenguer and Robert Navarro.
“Football isn’t just about having fun with the beauty of the goals — it’s also about going home thinking that we’re a solid unit,” added the Portuguese veteran. Sandwiched between Bellingham and Mbappe’s strikes was an own goal by Malaga goalkeeper Alfonso Herrero, while Arda Guler tapped in a fourth late on. The former Birmingham and Borussia Dortmund star was given a standing ovation from the fans when he was substituted in the second half. Bellingham forced the second goal seven minutes later, after Herrero denied Mbappe. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted his third goal of the campaign for the Galician side, who also benefitted from own goals by Cesar Tarrega and Mouctar Diakhaby.
