Two Kylian Mbappé penalties earned Real Madrid a 2-1 win over Olympique de Marseille in their first league phase match of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) campaign, continuing Los Blancos’ perfect record against Les Olympiens.
The hosts got off to a bright start with Mbappé sending an acrobatic attempt wide, but there was also disappointment when Trent Alexander-Arnold was forced off injured.
They still didn’t slow down at all, as by the 10th minute they had seen Franco Mastantuono hit the post and two Rodrygo efforts saved by Gerónimo Rulli, who then came out and spread himself brilliantly to deny Mbappé.
