Kylian Mbappe scored twice in Real Madrid’s first season, scoring twice as visitors came from behind Villarreal and took three points in Barcelona at the top of La Liga.
Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Juan Foyth took the yellow submarine ahead after seven minutes, shortly after Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made a brilliant turn over Ayoze Perez’s shot against the post office.
Madrid top scorer Mbappe slammed from the first inning in the box 10 minutes later, saving goalkeeper Diego Conde from Brahim Diaz’s efforts.
23 minutes later, the Grand Husse summer signing turned the scoring line, curling from the edge of the box, in the climax of a long and smooth counterattack.

Jude Bellingham v Juan Foyth: What happened?
In the 60th minute, Foyth took a strange flash point with Jude Bellingham when the 2022 Argentina FIFA World Cup champion played in the drama and called on the England International to be punished.
A video assistant referee review was conducted, and members of the two squads – including Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr, who rested from the starting lineup – seemed to provide their opinions strongly.
Bellingham was rejected part of a three-game red card suspension in the first half at Osasuna on February 15, a sentence he said to the referee, who missed Madrid’s previous outings.
“This is not good for the game.” 🎙️

Commentators at broadcaster Premier Sports criticized Foyth for his move “not good for the game.”
The 27-year-old was later booked for a foul Vinicius Jr, who was introduced as a second-half substitute.
