Mbappé on Target Again as Real Madrid Edge Ahead of Real Oviedo
On August 24, Kylian Mbappé (26) extended his fine start to life in LaLiga, scoring for the second match running to hand Real Madrid a 1-0 lead away to Real Oviedo. The French star displayed his trademark composure in front of goal, underlining why he has quickly become the centerpiece of Madrid’s attack.
The breakthrough came thanks to Arda Güler (20), who provided his first league assist of the season. The Turkish prodigy slipped a perfectly timed pass into Mbappé’s stride, setting up a clinical finish that left Oviedo’s defense helpless.
For Carlo Ancelotti’s side, the growing link-up between Mbappé and Güler is hugely encouraging. Mbappé’s ruthless finishing, combined with Güler’s vision and creativity, adds a new spark to Madrid’s attacking options as they look to retain their LaLiga crown.
With two goals in as many games, Mbappé is already laying the foundations for a prolific debut season in Spain, while Güler’s influence suggests the youngster is ready to play a far greater role for Los Blancos.
