Real Madrid have picked up their pace as they recorded their fifth consecutive victory in the match against Alavés. Our team set the game up in the first half, during which they scored two goals. The first came from Lucas Vázquez and the second saw Mbappé finish off a beautiful move. Rodrygo got the third in the second half following a great individual move. Alavés were clinical in the closing minutes and reduced the deficit with goals from Protesoni and Kike García, but the three points stayed at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Ancelotti's men demonstrated their fine form from the off and took the lead within the first minute of the game. Valverde's spectacular switch of play fed Vini Jr, who controlled expertly and beat Mouriño with a great piece of skill before putting the ball into the box. Lucas Vázquez was on hand to finish with his left foot for his 250th goal in the competition.

Mbappé's goal
Madrid had got off to a dominant start and continued in their aim to extend their lead. They did just that on 40 minutes. Mbappé laid the ball off to Bellingham with a lovely back-heel flick, the Englishman slipped it back to him and the Frenchman did the rest. Cutting into the box, he used three touches to score. The first two saw him sneak past M. Diarra, who failed to pick up the ball, and the third saw him beat Sivera. As many as 26 passes were strung together before the forward scored, building on a scoring streak that has seen him find the back of the net in his last five games, bagging six goals in the process.

Real Madrid had the game firmly under control thanks to the two goals and soon after the start of the second half, they made it three. A great piece of individual play from Rodrygo, who beat two opponents in the 48th minute and finished, slotting the ball between Sivera's legs. And it could have been four 15 minutes later. Endrick got away from M. Diarra, cut inside the area and his shot hit Pica's foot before crashing against the crossbar.

Alavés also struck the post with a shot from A. Rebbach in the 76th minute. Following on from that, Alavés produced a goal-scoring display, scoring twice in the space of two minutes through Protesoni in the 85th minute and Kike García in the 87th minute. It wasn't enough as our team went on to secure their fifth consecutive win, having scored in all nine official matches this season (21 goals).
